OK - if you promise it will not happen again, then I will do updates - ha ha ha
Yep, everything fixed. Thanks Sam!
Just FYI, I had exactly the same error as the OP and found these in my APT history.log:

I ran the sudo apt-get -f install command and got the same results as @Willow1262
I’m not sure if this still indicates a problem, but after running the above, my APT eipp.log is showing the following entries related to this package (note the half-installed / unpacked statuses):
Package: vero364-kernel-osmc

Try to see if it’s a similar problem to this one. Error after November update
in my case I had to finish the packages configuration by running:
sudo dpkg --configure --pending
Try check for updates again in My OSMC.
I’ve just tried that via My OSMC and although it appeared to complete successfully (No updates found), the eipp.log hasn’t been updated (nor has apt/history.log or apt/term.log).
I’m not sure if it’s just a cosmetic thing, as running dpkg-query -l vero364-kernel-osmc shows:

So things appear to be installed OK, it’s just weird that the eipp.log doesn’t seem to think so (despite the timestamp on it being from the time I ran the command to fix it (i.e. sudo apt-get -f install)
The vero is also playing videos OK, so hopefully the half-configured stuff will go away next time some updates install correctly?
Can you post a log so I can check what’s going on here?
Thanks
Sam
Running sudo dpkg --configure -a should solve your issue.
Thanks Sam, I ran this and received no output, so I assume it’s done what’s required?
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
osmc@osmc:~$
Yes, but for good measure, you could do:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall vero364-image-4-9-113-60-osmc:arm64
Thanks Sam, I tried that but it produced the following error:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall vero364-image-4-9-113-60-osmc:arm64

Sorry – there’s a typo there. Try:
I got the same error, but the new command line looks identical to the old?? (Apologies if I’ve missed something?):
sudo apt-get install --reinstall vero364-image-4-9-113-60-osmc:arm64
sudo apt-get install --reinstall vero364-image-4-9-113-60-osmc:arm64
Check my last post where they are decimals and not hyphens in the kernel versioning scheme.

Ahh, apologies Sam! For some reason when I expanded the quote it showed the dashes. 
This worked with the decimals, thank you!!

It was me that initially typo’d
Glad this is now working as expected.
