Hi,

go here and install the all.deb package using Gdebi and then run:

sudo apt-get install -f

The APT INSTALL on the same page seems to do the trick, thanks

Hi Alex,

there are a couple of packages missing from the Ubuntu repos at the moment, I am sure that it will be sorted out within the next few days. Please remember that UM16.04 is still a baby and is learning to walk!.

Did you try APT per @Jaime_Tayag’s suggestion?. :smiley:

EDIT:

do these 3 downloads in order and install with Gdebi and it should work (64 Bit version!, if you need 32 bit, search for those on same site or use the all.deb packages!):

Is there a version of kodi-bin for Raspberry Pi 3?

Hi @tvd0405,

does this help although I have not read through it so I am not sure if it will work on Raspi 3!:

The default installed version of Kodi 15.2 crashed on Raspberry Pi 3

I joined and created and account just for an update ---->

Great Wolfman but I was still having problems to install in x64 I did:

libmysqlclient18_5.6.25-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

kodi-bin

kodi

In that order with your instructions using Gdebi but when installing it was still asking for:

libshairplay0_0.9.0.1-2-xenial_amd64.deb and libcrossguid1_0.1-git20150807.8f399e8-xenial_amd64.deb

I Installed them from the ubuntuupdates.org website but was stuck when installing kodi_16.1-git20160425.1001-final-0xenial_all.deb ; No errors or dependencies issues using Gdebi, but same “kodi:depends (<=” when on CIi

Quickly fixed it using:

dpkg --force-all -i kodi_16.1-git20160425.1001-final-0xenial_all.deb

Everything running smooth now :slight_smile:

What update mirror are you using for Ubuntu Mate updates?, have you tried changing them because of the missing dependencies?:
