package kodi-repository-kodi (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/kodi/addons/repository.xbmc.org/addon.xml', which is also in package kodi-data 2:17.3+dfsg1-3

[Johan Rosier]

I have "Kodi" installed and found the next problems I have a stick with films from the internet and i found no possibility to use "open with another program software program" be it did not come in the list of other possibilities. A second problem with Kodi was that it was (for me) only to close the Kodi software by closing the whole session with an "hard stopping"

I found another problem with pulse audio. In synaptic has been forgotten to activate the pavucontrol. After this i found it back in the applications.

The same problem i had with the new equalizer in the Synaptic. After installing this there was no equalizer in the aplications box. And i have installed the old one. That was giving the application in the " sound and video box

I don't use bluetooth but i see a red cross in the icon. and i shall remove it

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The main issue here has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 1721914, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. The other mentioned (at least the bluetooth one) seems unrelated, so I would suggest reporting these separately. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.
