Package inconsistent with kodi version on Ubuntu 22.04

Asked by Samir

Hey,

I run kodi on Ubuntu 22.04 and have upgraded kodi version to the latest available ie

kodi/jammy,jammy,now 6:20.0+git20230115.1026-389e701cb9-0~jammy all [installed]

This has caused a issue where kodi-pvr-iptvsimple is now broken because it's not supported by this version of Kodi. I checked and I have the latest available version of kodi-pvr-iptvsimple from the repository ie:

kodi-pvr-iptvsimple/jammy,now 6:19.2.2-1~jammy amd64 [installed]

I guess that the iptvsimple package must be the same as kodi in order to work. Will this package be upgraded to same version of Kodi so that they are compatible in Ubuntu 22.04?

Best regards Samir

Temporarily I've downgraded kodi to be the same version as iptvsimple by:

sudo apt install kodi=2:19.4+dfsg1-2 kodi-bin=2:19.4+dfsg1-2

And now the plugin works again.

Looking at my apt sources list the package might come from one of the

Not sure where the update comes from since the main repo has correct kodi version ie:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/kodi

Your output shows you using a PPA. From the XBMC PPA. Why lie?

The problematic version comes from a PPA.

I assume that the definition of that ppa is in a separate file, probably named something like

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*xbmc*.list

If you have a problem with the packages from a PPA, then please contact the provider of the PPA.
In this case the link to the PPA page is https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Ah yes you are right Manfred, the sources.list.d does contain a xbmc list where a xbmc ppa is defined and I failed to check that. Sorry for the disturbance and thanks for the support.
