[SOLVED] Kodi won't install. kodi-bin : Depends: libcrossguid1 but it is not installable

Title says it all. Kodi won't install because it depends on a package that isn't available:

$ sudo apt-get install kodi
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kodi : Depends: kodi-bin (>= 2:16.1-4~jessie) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kodi-bin (< 2:16.1-4~jessie.1~) but it is not going to be installed

I'm using the latest version of RetroPie, I ran apt-get update/upgrade. What is wrong?

I found a workable solution here:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=109088&start=475#p936238

it required adding an additional repo for aptitude.

Have you updated retropie-setup in the last day or two ? If so, then it's probably due to a mistake I made adding the armv7 repository (forgot it still needed the main repository also). I am fixing it now.

[BuZz]

should be fixed now (after updating retropie-setup)

@BuZz Yes thats it. Some of the dependencies of the armv7 kodi are pulled from the main repo, so you need the 2 for armv7. I just saw the update, I think it is good now.
