Having trouble installing Kodi on ubuntu 20.04. I did the following as per official guide

sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kodi

Getting following error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kodi : Depends: kodi-bin (< 6:19.4+git20220304.1555-e12e66e019-0~focal.1~) but it is not going to be installed

    Why did you add a ppa? kodi is already in the official repositories. All you needed to do was sudo apt update and sudo apt install kodi -- Of course your system should be up-to-date before adding new software. Did you do that? If you had preexisting problems with software, it can compound the problems when you try to add something new. I suggest that you remove the PPA, then run sudo apt update, then sudo apt autoremove then sudo apt upgrade before you can finally run sudo apt install kodi -- pay attention to confirmation messages and cancel if necessary – Nmath Apr 10 '22 at 18:38

    See also: Are PPAs safe to add to my system and what are some "red flags" to watch out for? --- PPAs are not a preferred method to install software and can sometimes break your system, especially in cases where they are out of date, obscure, or bring in lots of dependencies (esp. when those dependency versions don't match your release) – Nmath Apr 10 '22 at 18:40
