Installation of rbp4-mediacenter 21.1 failed

I have tried to update my OSMC installation on a raspberry 4 via “My OSMC” on the user interface. The update failed. I have tried several times.

Additionally, I have tried an update via “apt update” and “apt dist-upgrade” (mediacenter was stopped before) using ssh. During the “apt dist-upgrade” I get the following error messages for rbp4-mediacenter 21.1…

Does anyone have an idea how to solve the problem?

Good Evening,

Please try:-

sudo apt install -f

If that doesn’t resolve, please provide full logs.

Regards Tom.

Hi Tom,

thank You for your quick answer. I have tried “sudo apt install -f” but with no effect.
Meanwhile (today) I have run an OSMC update via the OSMC internal update functionality.

Now the update was installed without any problems. I don’t Know what is different, but anyway … the update was successful.

Best regards

Dirk

Hi,

I would still provide logs, the fact the issues occurred in the first place; suggests there is a problem.

for example the SD card could be full or corrupt.

Regards Tom
