Received the following error while updating this month, even did a fresh install and still the same.
Unpacking atv-image-4.2.3-13-osmc (13) …

This means you didn’t shut down your AppleTV properly.
The good news is this is easy to recover from. Have a look at the AppleTV Forum category, there was a user with the same issue a few days ago. The solution is very simple and it involves logging in via SSH and invoking a few commands to perform a filesystem check. This will make the boot partition writable, which is where the updated kernel will be written to. Then you can resume the upgrade with success.
Please make sure you shut down your device properly in the future.

I have the same error Sam. Can you give some specific instructions on how to get rid of the error message.
Thanks.
