Hi all, after the last update I did in, I believe November, my infrared remote control stopped working for OSMC on my raspberry pi.
Checking the status through putty with systemctl status lircd.service returns Unit lircd.service could not be found.
When trying to reinstall LIRC i get following error:
root@osmc:~# sudo apt-get install lirc
