Solved Aborted PURGE of 18.6
#1
Installed Kodi 18.6 today on Linux 18.2 Sonya following instructions on wiki.

I am now trying to purge it. I get the following error message. And it stops there.

sudo apt-get remove kodi*
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package kodi_crashlog-20200304_124412.log
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'kodi_crashlog-20200304_124412.log'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'kodi_crashlog-20200304_124412.log'

The crashlog is not hard to find. Perhaps it's in the wrong place.
Where should it be and how do I get it there? N.B. I am not a programmer.
Thanks

It's because of shell expansion, which tries to remove kodi_crashlog present at your current dir as if it was a package.
Escape the *.
apt-get remove kodi\*

That seems to have done it. Thanks
