Hello!
I am having an issue where I am unable to update OSMC. There are other issues as well (“mark as watched” flags not working), but I thought I would tackle one thing at a time.

Thank you for your help, and let me know if you need additional info.
Your apt cache has an issue

My first usggestion take down that overclocking and overvoltage setting. But you might still have a file corruption.
Try sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and report results.
Thanks.
The overclocking settings are the “default” ones offered by OSMC. I thought they would be ok, especially since I am using the power supply offered on this site. I changed the setting back to “Normal”
This is what I got after running what you suggested:
Running sudo apt-get update:
W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/i18n/Translation-en Hash Sum mismatch
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. As described in other update related threads, I think apt-get autoremove removed apt-transport-https. I will have to check whether I have any custom repositories installed that need it. Other than that, it seems to have worked.
I am running version 2016-02-4 right now.
Interestingly: I ran the updater from withing OSMC after running the two commands, and now it progresses further. However, at first it attempts to download Translation-en (and some other packages). Then I receive the notice that no updates can be found. If I repeat the scan for an update, this happens again.
That suggests a problem with the Debian mirror that serves your country. Where are you located ?
It will probably fix itself in a day or two when they discover and fix the problem.
Where are you located ?
I am in Austria. Is this something that is causing the other issues that I am facing?
Nope. It will only be causing errors trying to update.
I ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again, and this time did not receive the error messages.
I guess I’ll have to wait until the next update is released to find out whether the updater in My OSMC is working?
