Kodi won't upgrade

Van_Burgett · 5 March 2017 09:33

I used the search button in Synaptic, and it came back with the same installed kodi and kodi-bin packages. The only difference is that there were more things in the list that have not been installed.

Here is the result from apt-cache command:

Ok, so you’re indeed using the XBMC PPA but I don’t see it in your previous report. Did you add it afterwards?

Anyway, remove Kodi:

sudo apt-get remove --purge kodi kodi-bin

then eventual dependancies:

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

then remove the PPA (install ppa-purge first if it isn’t):

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:team-xbmc/ppa

Then, if all went well, add the old stable PPA from Team XBMC, which still provides Kodi 16.1:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/kodi-old
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi

If at some point you want to upgrade Kodi to version 17 or later, you’ll have to purge this PPA and add the regular one again. Note that it is available only for Xenial (16.04) at most, so the day you switch to a newer version of Ubuntu Mate, you’ll probably have no choice but to use a more recent version of Kodi.

Van_Burgett · 5 March 2017 10:31

Nope. It still won't install kodi this way. I did all of the steps, and this is what it spit out when I tried to do sudo apt-get install kodi:

Give again the output of the following commands (don’t try to add/remove any PPA in the meantime, of course):

ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

And also of the following one (it’ll likely not install but will help to find where the dependancies issues lie):

sudo apt-get install kodi-bin

Ok, so the PPA is disabled as expected. BTW, you can delete the .list file:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/team-xbmc-ubuntu-ppa-xenial.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/team-xbmc-ubuntu-ppa-xenial.list.save

But I don’t understand the dependancy issue, It’s pretty weird.

First, try this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then launch Synaptic and do a search for “kodi”: is there any package installed? If not, after the apt-get commands, try to install it again but I’m pretty sure you’ll have the same problem:

sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-bin

wolfman · 5 March 2017 21:03

The following PPA entries still need to be deleted!:

deb Index of /team-xbmc/kodi-old/ubuntu xenial main

deb-src Index of /team-xbmc/kodi-old/ubuntu xenial main

deb Index of /team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu xenial main

deb-src Index of /team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu xenial main

terzag · 5 March 2017 22:26

No, kodi-old is the old stable version from the XBMC/Kodi team, the one (16.1) that @Van_Burgett wants to install. The two lines from the main XBMC/Kodi PPA are commented (# at the start of each line), the PPA is disabled (that’s why I’m making him delete the .list file anyway).

Van_Burgett · 5 March 2017 22:39

@terzag As you figured, it still won’t install. On the plus side, it looks like I just updated a bunch of stuff that needed updating. What now for Kodi?

terzag · 6 March 2017 00:24

Give again the output of the following command to check the status of the packages with the current repos:

apt-cache policy kodi kodi-bin

Given the previous errors when trying to install kodi-bin, there’s a slight chance that there’s a problem in the Kodi PPA but that’d be strange.

Van_Burgett · 6 March 2017 01:10

@terzag LibreOffice is looking strange since I did that update command. All of the icons and menu items are smaller, and I can’t properly see what anything is. That’s not what it normally looks like. Have there been any prior complaints about that?

[Album] Imgur: The magic of the Internet

terzag · 6 March 2017 07:15

Haven’t seen anything like this. It looks like some of the icons are not drawn (?). Did you have a LO update in the ones that were applied? You can try to remove the config dir (warning: if you made some customizations to LO, they will be lost) by removing the “libreoffice” folder inside the .config (hidden folder) in you home

I “fixed” LibreOffice by downgrading it back to the previous version using this command:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:libreoffice/ppa

terzag · 6 March 2017 18:17

Ok, so the repos are good. When you try to intall Kodi, do you get the exact same output as above or does it gives other dependancies?

sudo apt-get install kodi-bin kodi

As for LibreOffice, it might simply have been a settings issue between the old and new versions. Just in case, have you tried removing the libreoffice folder I gave before downgrading?

Van_Burgett · 6 March 2017 18:36

There appears to be just one listed that's not in the previous output
Depends: libcrossguid1 (I'm not sure what this is.)

Re: LibreOffice, no I didn't try removing the folder. I was sort of in a hurry. I need LibreOffice to function properly, and I didn't really want to experiment with it. The previous version was working fine, and downgrading it didn't wipe my settings.

terzag · 6 March 2017 19:24

Ok, so we’ll continue digging. Give the output of:

apt-cache policy libcrossguid1
sudo apt-get install libcrossguid1

You’ll probably have other dependancies issues after that. You can run the same commands for each subsequents ones and give the output until we can narrow down to the specific package that blocks everything. It’s quite possible that there’s a conflict because of a version of a package from a PPA like Getdeb.

Van_Burgett · 6 March 2017 20:32

So, libcrossguid1 won't install.

apt-cache policy libcrossguid1

libcrossguid1:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:

sudo apt-get install libcrossguid1

Package libcrossguid1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

terzag · 6 March 2017 21:17

That’s annoying, as it’s indeed missing from the PPA. You can try to install it manually from there (pick the 32 bit deb package), though I’m not sure it’ll work and there might be other dependancies missing.

Van_Burgett · 6 March 2017 22:06

So apparently, that was the last missing piece. Kodi 16.1 finally installed properly. Thanks so much for your help.
