I’ve been unable to update my OSMC (running on Pi3), ever since I installed retropi as a service. From reading around, I believe this is due to me installing bluetooth profiles? Can’t be sure however as my linux experience is rather limited. As requested, log is here:
it would appear the error is caused due to using the Jessie staging repo? here’s my sources.list output:
osmc@osmc:/etc/apt$ cat sources.list
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free

Looks strange, reasons can be many (even a SD Card failure).
First upload new set of logs grab-logs -A
Second try sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update

according to this:
using apt-get remove libasound2-data 1.0.28-1+rpi2
will delete the conflicting package. should I also use --purge to remove the associated configs? or am i barking up the wrong tree?

Much thanks for your help fzinken. as you can see it appears to have not worked… I’ll try a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again now and see what happens…
are there any ways to resolve exactly which packages are dependant?
I’ve tried :
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get --purge autoremove libasound2

It has borked my retro pie installation however, so now to figure out how to get that running again.
@fzinken thank you for your help! very much appreciated, and now I have a little more knowledge, and so am both more and less dangerous. Schrodinger’s hacker if you will.
