December 2017 Update Resulted in Sad Face Loop

Help and Support
1

I ran the update, and turned off the TV as it was running.
When I turned the TV on quite some time later, there was no HDMI signal coming from OSMC.
I rebooted OSMC and find it in SFL.

Can still SSH in and get logs

Any thoughts?

BTW When I SSH in and run sudo apt-get update then I get

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

When I run sudo dpkg --configure -a I get the following errors

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rbp1-mediacenter-osmc:
 rbp1-mediacenter-osmc depends on libpcrecpp0v5; however:
  Package libpcrecpp0v5 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package rbp1-mediacenter-osmc (--configure):

Buuuut… running sudo apt-get update again, now results in no errors…

Then running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I get the following errors

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libboost-filesystem1.55-dev : Depends: libboost1.55-dev (= 1.55.0+dfsg-3) but it is not installable
 libboost-system1.55-dev : Depends: libboost1.55-dev (= 1.55.0+dfsg-3) but it is not installable
 rbp1-mediacenter-osmc : Depends: libpcrecpp0v5 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

And sudo apt-get -f install?
But you might be in a half upgraded state which could be a an issue

So I ran apt-get -f install and then retried

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it appears to be processing OK atm…

Yeah so believe it or not, that recovered it for me!

After the above I then reran

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And got no errors, so did a sudo systemctl restart mediacenter and we appear all good! :slight_smile:
