Dear OSMC team,
I just tried to update my RaspPi 1 with OSMC / May update to the June update, however I get this on the blue installation screen:
"An error occurred while installing the following package
(unknown package)
Please report this problem on the OSMC forum, making sure to include debug logs. Attempting to restart Kodi in 30 seconds."
I have seen that others are getting this problem sporadically, too, so maybe there is also a solution for my installation. Otherwise I won’t mind just doing a clean reinstall.
Here is what I did:
- My OSMC → enable debug logs
- My OSMC → manual search for updates
- update available, do you want to install → Yes
- error installing unknown package
- reboot after 30 seconds
- My OSMC → Upload logs
The logs are available at http://paste.osmc.io/rufunidacu - I hope they are conclusive. I could of course also activate logs, reboot, and then scan for updates, if that gives better results.
Thank you in advance for any help, and keep the good work up!

You might have a filesystem corruption.
I suggest you reboot and then run these commands via ssh
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If it works afterwards fine. If not I suggest to do a backup and a reinstall
thank you for the advice! I ran the four commands. apt-get update did not update any package, so looks like I was quite up to date. For the record, apt-get dist-upgrade did this:

Use ‘apt-get autoremove’ to remove them.
Done

Need to get 88.9 MB of archives.
After this operation, 63.0 MB of additional disk space will be used.[/quote]
When I started the upgrade, however, I got the same error message as you found in the log:
[quote]Preconfiguring packages …
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
files list file for package ‘rbp-bootloader-osmc’ is missing final newline
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)[/quote]
So it really may be the SD card. I’ll backup OSMC in the next few days and just do a reinstall. Thank you for the help!
