Had the following error message on a 4K+
I previous had some problems with a bricked device, @sam_nazarko helped me out with, due to the 4.9 testing, so i am sure it has something to do with that.
There is nothing in the logs due to several reboots after enabling debug logs and disable an VPN addon which spammed the logs.

What to do from here?
Can you try to reinstall the bootloader:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall vero3-bootloader-osmc
Perhaps we’ll get a better idea of why it’s failing.
Sure, here it is
osmc@osmc_stue:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall vero3-bootloader-osmc

Try sudo apt-get update and, if no errors, retry the reinstall.
Already tried that, and it is the same.

I hate these “internal error” messages.
A quick search threw up some possible fixes, though the root cause is unclear and might require Sam’s input. Try this
sudo dpkg --configure --pending
It intentionally fails for a reason - there’s a sanity check to prevent it from installing. Otherwise his device will end up a brick. I’ll post some instructions shortly.

I really suspect it has something to do with the 4.9 testing, which bricked the Vero 4k+, and had to force it in USB recovery mode, and use USB burning tool to flash it.
Here is the output.

That was appearing in the 4.9 testing, wasn’t it? Over to Sam, I think.
Yes it was. Thank you for taking the time
Please run:
sudo fw_setenv revmodel '4kplus'
sudo fw_setenv initargs 'initargs=rootfstype=ramfs init=/init console=ttyS0,115200 no_console_suspend earlyprintk=aml-uart,0xc81004c0 ramoops.pstore_en=1 ramoops.record_size=0x8000 ramoops.console_size=0x4000 revision=4kplus'
Then reboot, and try update again.

@thansen_dk’s previous log doesn’t show it as being a plus.

Will this make a difference?
Yes – but he says it is a +.
The bootloader install deliberately bails for now, to prevent problems.
It is a 4K+
It’s my fault – we sent him a 4K unbrick image instead of 4K +.
There will be a few corner cases where users are affected like this.
Ran the above with no errors, but i am not sure it is fixed.

W: APT had planned for dpkg to do more than it reported back (9 vs 13).
Affected packages: vero3-bootloader-osmc:armhf
Run sudo apt-get -f install
It looks like it has worked as expected.
Yes, everything seems to be fine now.
Was this caused by the problems i had with the 4.9 testing, which bricked the Vero?? and does that mean that there should be no problems with future updates regarding to the bootloader?
Thank you very much.
