I know just enough about building executables in OSMC to be dangerous, but not enough to get myself out of my own messes … as evidenced by my problem.
I’m pretty sure that I’m encountering this because I installed armv7-toolchain-osmc to build my own copy of kodi.bin (see Comskip/EDL processing bug in KODI (?))
When trying to upgrade, I get the message on the screen “Error installing: armv7-toolchain-osmc (1.4.3)”
In the logs (https://paste.osmc.tv/ibaviquqew) I see this …
Preparing to unpack .../armv7-toolchain-osmc_1.4.3_all.deb ...

I tried removing the package but got this …

Short of a fresh clean install of OSMC … any ideas?
