I am having no issues installing kodi, either.

@johndingli, can you copy and paste the results of your attempted install after ‘sudo apt update’? For example:

sudo apt install kodi

Best share info about your system, e.g. ‘inxi -Fzr’.

In case you try to install a downloaded DEB package, that’s another story and you have to handle the dependencies afterwards by running ‘apt install –fix-broken’.
Still, it may fail due to DEB for Ubuntu instead of Debian or you may be installing a package expecting Linux with ‘systemd’.

Please also do see the “sticky” post (sticky means it is kept at the top of recent posts) https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/how-to-install-applications-2020-version/

This *might* help with the dependency issue.
