I was trying to following the directions from Kodi to clear out kodi-bin and kodi-data so that I could update Kodi 17.1 to 17.3. After doing so and trying to install Kodi it get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: kodi : Depends: kodi-bin (>= 2:17.3+git20170525.0741-final-0xenial) but 17.1+hk2-odroidc2ubuntu2 is to be installed Depends: libshairplay0 but it is not installable Recommends: i965-va-driver but it is not installable or libva-intel-vaapi-driver but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

And I am really not sure how to proceed and and really not sure where the problem really is.

Please point me in the right direction.

Thank you

So new to Linux (it's scary) but I had the same issue, tried the following and it worked for me...

For Xenial go to:

scroll to the bottom of the page, download both the 'kodi' & 'kodi-bin' .deb packages and install both using:

 sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Hope it helps...

I had the same problem. I fixed it by removing and installing the kodi packages. The kodi database was in my case still filled, but I would recommend a backup of the kodi database.

1. Get your installed kodi packages

   sudo apt list --installed | grep kodi

2. Remove kodi packages found in 1

   sudo apt remove kodi kodi-bin ...

3. Install kodi again

   sudo apt install kodi
