Error trying update from Kodi 16 to Kodi 17 (libc-bin - segmentation fault)

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

I have try today to upgrade from Kodi 16 to Kodi 17.

By using the OSMC updater, the update starts and after some time it is aborted with the following dialog box:

Even if the error message say “… attempting to restart Kodi in 30 seconds …” the dialog box never close and it is mandatory to “unplug / plug” my PI2 to restart OSMC.

By looking inside the /var/log/apt/term.log i can found the following:

…
Generating locales (this might take a while)…
fr_FR.UTF-8… done
Generation complete.
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-18+deb8u7) …
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (–configure):

Segmentation fault

Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d…done.

==================

I have also try to manually upgrade Kodi by using
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dis-upgrade
==> same error

After this last try (manual update), i have use the command
grab-logs -A
and the logs have been uploaded to
http://paste.osmc.io/ugamofuzay

Please, could you help or give some advises.

You couldn’t access it via SSH anymore to restart? unplug/plug might be part of your problem. As the segmentation fault means something is wrong with one of your binaries.
My recommendation, backup your Kodi folder and do a reinstall (test your SD Card before).

You are right. After the problem occurs i can not connect to the osmc account by SSH.
I will check my SD card and follow your recommendation.
I will then publish results of these additional tests.

Thanks for your answer
