So I encountered some errors when trying to upgrade to the new release using My OSMC. It told me to report it on the forum, so here we go The APT logs are here: http://paste.osmc.tv/ehowajaxug
It seems that at some point you may have been using the jessie-devel staging repository. You updated to some experimental (and not ready for prime time) packages on 8th September, so the issue is indeed unrelated to the other linked thread.
I still believe that unfortunately the best remedy is a reinstallation.
I would also recommend only using apt-get dist-upgrade or the My OSMC updating tool for system updates.
Hmm OK, that’s a shame, but I guess there’s not much else for me to do I actually tried the upgrade because the system kept hanging, so I couldn’t upgrade from My OSMC.
