I get a dialog saying
OSMC Update Error
Error installing
Please report this on the OSMC forum.
It appears repeatedly. No doubt it has been reported many times. What can I do?
Please advise.
Please post debug logs.

Hey I feel your pain about errors. Well if you are like the majority of us, you are probably using Windows and if that is the case, the image file you are loading onto the SD is compressed. It has a compression that Windows does not normally handle . I used WinZip. It’s free and works fine. Just Install WinZip and then restart OSMC installer. BAM!! it should work.
I think he updated OSMC not installed it. It’s an error that pops up after reboot.
Exactly. I thought this was the Raspberry pi forum. Pi’s don’t run windows (yet) as far as I know.
I’ll try to find them. Don’t know (yet) where they are on the pi.
You were told where to get them in one of your previous posts: Cannot connect to the database, hangs on .avi - #3 by Morte

Hello
Same issue:

Hi,
From looking at the logs the last update attempt looks to have been successful, whats the output of:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Thanks Tom.

E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?
and
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It looks like syncthing now uses https for its updates. I can see you’ve been running syncthing since 2016, so it’s not clear why it no longer works. (Perhaps they’ve gone https-only.) What does running cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sincthing.list show?
Anyway, to overcome the problem run sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https and then try again with the update/dist-upgrade.

Okey.
Done.
I removed Syncthing since I don’t use it anymore.
And now working fine.
Kudos to you.
On my raspberry, the dist-upgrade just said.
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I guess that’s OK, but also that it will not cure the error.
What does sudo apt-get update says?
How often the error appears? How stable is your network?
I did a sudo apt-get update before I did the dist-upgrade. It gave no errors. I’ll do it again an post its output (don’t know if consecutive updates are very useful though). The error seems to reappear on a daily basis. I’m not sure about measurements on the stability of the network, as it is a home network which doesn’t have heavy traffic.
I could suggest some tests if you are interested
