Kodi 19 update error: An error occurred while installing the following package: (unknown package)

Help and Support
1

I was glad to see the notification that the Kodi 19 update was available for download. Thank you for all the hard work!

Unfortunately, the update didn’t go as expected on my RPi3. I clicked on install, and initially, the update appeared to proceed as normal. However, after a minute or so, I got the following message:

An error occurred while installing the following package: (unknown package)

After this message, the Pi rebooted.

Then I tried installing the update once again, this time via the OSMC menu with debugging enabled. This resulted in the same error.

My logs can be found here.

It had been so long ago since I last logged in via SSH that I couldn’t remember my (anything but default) password. So I figured it would take me less time to do a completely new install, than to bruteforce my own password. The new install went fine, so unless the problem reappears at some point, consider this problem solved.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 armv7-network-osmc : Depends: armv7-bluezalsa-osmc but it is not installed

Not easy but you can try

sudo apt-get remove --purge a2dp-app-osmc pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio
sudo dpkg -r armv7-bluez-alsa-app-osmc
sudo dpkg -r armv7-bluez-alsa-osmc
sudo apt-get --fix-broken install
