Hi, I’m getting these errors after the latest upgrade (a few minutes ago):

Use ‘apt-get autoremove’ to remove them.

This would typically only happen if the install of the package was interrupted, for example by a power cut or a system crash. Did you pull the power out during the update or did it crash?

You could try reinstalling the mediacenter package manually like so:

sudo apt-get install rbp2-mediacenter-osmc --reinstall

Then try running updates again.

Thanks for the very quick reply!!
No, there was no interruption or power cut/outage. After the GUI update and the errors shown after the requested reboot, I tried several times sudo apt-get update / sudo apt-get install, but I kept getting this error. Your suggestion is being executed and I will let you know the final results.

When manually updating OSMC by commandline, always use

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

How long have you waited,downloading the packages from the server may take some time

Everything completed successfully now without errors after DBMandrake’s suggestion. The topic can be closed. Apologies for the confusions.

I’m getting a similar issue on the latest update. Tried DBMandrake’s fix and it still returned the same error. Any ideas?

Note: was getting unhappy face bootloop as well, so decided to do a complete reinstall… :confused: Must have been a big corruption somewhere…
