Unmet dependencies/held broken packages while trying to install kodi
#1
w'm trying to install Kodi 16, every step up to sudo apt-get install kodi works fine. When I try that step, I get this error:
Code:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kodi : Depends: kodi-bin (>= 2:16.1~git20160425.1001-final-0xenial) but 15.2+dfsg1-3ubuntu1 is to be installed        Depends: libshairplay0 but it is not installable        Recommends: libva-intel-vaapi-driver but it is not installable or                    i965-va-driver but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
When I try sudo apt-get build-dep kodi, I get the same error with different specified packages:
Code:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: builddeps:kodi : Depends: dcadec-dev but it is not installable                  Depends: libplatform-dev but it is not installable                  Depends: libshairplay-dev but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I can't seem to install any of these packages independently, installer can't locate them, I'm not sure where else I would get them, supposedly they should be in the kodi repository. Tried sudo dpkg --configure -a, sudo apt-get --fix-broken install, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, at different points . Any ideas?
