[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Adrian Merrill (metalchef)]

sudo apt install -f -y fixed this issue for me.

[Marko Stanković (sm4rk0)]

Yes, it "fixed" the state of packages by overwriting a file from one package with a file from another package. That's just removing the symptom, not fixing the issue.

[Sosha (soshaw)]

This problem also happened to me.
Solved with sudo apt full-upgrade

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

As mentioned in the error message, the underlying bug is that the file usr/share/kodi/addons/repository.xbmc.org/addon.xml is present in both kodi-data (https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/all/kodi-data/filelist) and kodi-repository-kodi (https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/all/kodi-repository-kodi/filelist), so it fails when attempting to install both packages at once.

[Marko Stanković (sm4rk0)]

For the record, both files are the same, so forcing the update won't brake anything.

[suspect76 (gareth-suspect76-deactivatedaccount)]

I am having the same issue. If you need details from me, let me know.

[oldspammer (ckskinner)]

A prior installation was not properly uninstalled when the Ubuntu system was re-installed / recovered / rescued, etc.

There needs to be either user intervention or forced install overwriting of the prior configuration information / data, or some kind of managed "update" operations performed by the installer software.

[Nasseh (nassehk)]

Thanks.

I don't think this is caused by any previous install, I saw this on a 100% clean install of lubuntu 17.10 when I tried to install kodi

[thomas baker (tbjr50thomas)]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

i am affected as well on Xubuntu 17.10. Although it installed fine... later I got it on my menu fully working.

[dan (dandude)]

[Michel (michellaverriere)]

Oups. Yes it's ok.
