rbp2-device-osmc rbp3-device-osmc rbp4-device-osmc being removed

[schulmar]

I am running OSMC on a Rasberry Pi 3b+ and everything worked fine just last week. Today I wanted to start steam link and got stuck during the dependency installation.

While trying to install libegl1 I get the message that the package rbp2-device-osmc should be removed, which then is blocked by the system since OSMC cannot work without it and so the installation process is aborted.

Here is the log for the install step:

$ sudo apt -y install libegl1

Seek support at steam/valve i did not make the binary

[swetoast]

something has changed to the binary the code is around 2 years old and my time for this project is sadly limited at best so if someone doesnt figure out the issue im just gonna close it.

[schulmar]

This is probably related: osmc/osmc#743

If I understand that correctly, the 2023-08 update of OSMC changed rbp2-mesa-osmc to report libegl1 as being part of that package. When you explicitly want to install that package (as the steamlink-watchdog.sh and steamlink itself want to), they want to remove the conflicting source which triggers the error seen above.

I tried the development version mentioned in the ticket above, which does not report libegl1 anymore and it seems to work again.

I remembered that I did a dist upgrade in between to got some other plugin running and that probably pulled in the updated version.

[swetoast]

you are correct on this one

[swetoast]

then its a waiting game for a fix from OSMC ive pinned this issue so other can see it

[cwildfoerster]

just update to devel once and the problem is fixed
osmc/osmc#743 (comment)

[swetoast]

Leaving this one open for awhile.

[swetoast]

thanks @samnazarko for resolving this issue

[black-snow]

devel worked fine for me, too!

[swetoast]

just to be clear dont use devel as regular updates cause it will break stuff

[swetoast]

@samnazarko is this pushed out too the repo yet ? so i can close this ?

[samnazarko]
