Repo Kodi Ubunto 20.4 (focal) : bug et manquement

Asked by azimut2000 on 2023-01-22

Bonjour à la Team

Je viens d'upgrader mon Kodi 19 vers le tout nouveau Kodi 20. Je sur architecture x86_64 et sous (L)Ubuntu 20.04.

- Le fichier DEB "kodi-game-libretro" en version 20 ne semble pas exister : seul la version 19 reste installé et n'est pas remplacée... Je ne l'ai pas du dans le REPO, peut être a t il été oublié ?

- Petit bug génant : j'avais déjà des dossier jeux qui avaient été défini, mais en passant sur la nouvelle version, je n'ai plus la possibilité d'en ajouter de nouveau, je peux "juste" éditer les anciens.

Merci pour votre retour et avis sur ces sujets,

Cordialement,

Thierry

1. This is not a problem for Launchpad hosting services, but related to Ubuntu (at least this is what I assume based on your text "(L)Ubuntu 20.04.")

2. A package named kodi-game-libretro does not exist in the official Ubuntu releases, but only in PPAs
Apparently you have loaded that package from a PPA (or some other foreign source). If there is something wrong with a package from a PPA or if you have a question related to software from a PPA, then you have to contact the provider of the PPA directly.

for diagnostic purposes, what is the output of the commands (to be executed in a terminal window)

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
apt policy kodi-game-libretro

I'm not sure that i wanted to write here ;-)

In fact, i wanted to ask to the xbmc Team ;-) but not sure that they will read my text here :-D

What's weird is that they produce .deb to install Kodi and different kind of addons.
They offer several packages like "kodi-game-libretro-beetle-bsnes" (kodi-game-libretro-*) but without providing the famous "kodi-game-libretro-6:20.0.deb" !!!
My PPA points to "team-xbmc" which is the official source provided by Kodi to install these packages under Ubuntu...
But I have the impression that not everything is provided correctly.
