Hi, I am getting an error message while trying to install the latest update.
It exits Kodi and starts doing it thing, but after a while, I get:
An error occured while installing the following package: (unknown package).
Please report ...
It starts Kodi after 30 seconds and shows an error dialog in there as well saying OSMC Update Error, Error installing: (unknown package), but nothing more specific.
I tried several times with same result. I also tried running sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, but it crashed a few seconds after saying yes to what packages will be installed/updated with the following:
Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
files list file for package `rbp2-image-4.4.16-1-osmc' contains empty filename
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
Log started: 2016-09-01 11:58:13 files list file for package rbp2-image-4.4.16-1-osmc’ contains empty filename
Log ended: 2016-09-01 11:58:15`
Seems the package is damaged, suggest you try to clear the apt-cache and try to download again.
Okay, the issue is still not fixed, but I got further. The problem is with the rbp2-image-4.4.16-1-osmc package, which is not the newest one, as I see there is already the rbp2-image-4.4.16-4-osmc package, which apt wants to install as well. However, I do not know how to get rid of the rbp2-image-4.4.16-1-osmc package. I tried sudo apt-get clean, sudo apt-get autoclean, I also tried sudo apt-get autoremove and specifically sudo apt-get remove rbp2-image-4.4.16-1-osmc, but none of those helped.
Even though the corrupted package is no longer listed between the packages, which are to be installed (see below), I still get the same error as before.

Do you know how to (perhaps manually) get rid of the `rbp2-image-4.4.16-1-osmc’ package?
I did first 3 steps, but when I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, it says:
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
rbp2-kernel-osmc : Depends: rbp2-image-4.4.16-1-osmc but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
So, should I force it (like sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade)?
Alright, that seems to have worked, dist-upgrade ran without errors. On the main screen however, I still see the updates available icon. When I go to My OSMC I see version OSMC August 2016 2016.08-1. Shouldn’t it end with a 08-4 ?
i have tried all the different commands for the upgrade even going through the GUI just says error.
