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

I found how to get arround the problem by removing by myself the package kodi-visualization-waveform that blocks the installation process :

sudo apt-get remove kodi-visualization-waveform

Then kodi installation succeeds :)

Not a bug in Ubuntu. Marking as invalid.

Don't install random packages off the internet, it's a really stupid and dangerous thing to do. And definitely don't come running to report a problem in Ubuntu afterwards when you managed to screw up your system because of it.
