This should now be resolved in the following commit:

introduced by *-device-osmc. This may not be present until after an update of th…is package. If this file does not exist, we should exit gracefully and allow the kernel to be upgraded. Cleanups will occur at a later point in time anyway. Signed-off-by: Sam Nazarko <email@samnazarko.co.uk>

You might need to wait an hour or so for it to reach your local mirror, but you should then be able to update without any issues. You may want to run:

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osmc/osmc/7d1f77cf0f2cbcf67704a2caa6aaf2a59b9970ab/package/base-files-osmc/files/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal-osmc -O /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal-osmc
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
sudo reboot

In the interim

Cheers
