Installed 18.3 kodi last week using Sileo

Chimera jailbreak 12.4 on iPhone 6S

When 18.4 update was available

Updated using Sileo with kodi repo

I get these errors:

-delete /Application/Kodi.app relative path potentially not safe

Dpkg: error processing package .org.xbmc.kodi-ios64 (—remove):

Installed org.xbmc.kodi-ios64 package pre removal script subprocess returned error status 1

Tried reinstalling 18.3 using Filza
Not working

Uninstall. Also not working ☹️☹️

What you can try to remove Kodi:

1.  Install a terminal app like NewTerm
   
2. From your terminal app log in as root with the command  
   Code:

   su
   (the default password should be alpine)
   
3. Run the command 
   Code:

   dpkg -l | grep "kodi"
4. You should obtain a line that contains something with 
   Code:

   org.xbmc.kodi-ios64
   , save this package-id in your clipboard.
   
5. Then run the command 
   Code:

   apt-get remove org.xbmc.kodi-ios64
   and apply with Y
   
6. Then run the command 
   Code:

   uicache
   to remove Kodi icon from your springboard
   

I can only try on my device jailbroken with Unc0ver, if someone has a better idea with Sileo/Chimera...?

Edit: Just trying to upgrade Kodi 18.4 over Kodi 18.3 with Cydia, no issue for me!

Thanks

But it didn’t work also

Just did a complete restore on the iPhone 12.4. Then jailbreak 😕😕

I ran into the same problem. The fix for me was to connect via terminal/ssh to my ipad, and rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/org.xbmc.kodi-ios64.prerm
This is the pre removal script causing the subprocess returned error status 1
I looked at the script and it is unimportant.
I was then able to upgrade to 18.4 using Sileo. All my setting are still there and I checked the version- It does show 18.4

Good luck

Awesome, that worked for me. Thanks!

I tried the suggestions listed above however no luck... Problem is I too am getting the “returned error status 1” message as well. Further, the KODI application uninstalled itself d=from my springboard. To make matters worse, I tried to reinstalling (which didn’t work) and I tried UNinstalling yet I get the same result / error code. So the end result for me is that the KODI app is still gone yet according to the installer I used (in this case it was via Sileo, though it also reads as installed in my other two installers being both “Installer” & Zebra”) ...it appears / says its installed. SO - I have done the latest update which resulted in losing the KODI application and aside of not being able to get it back I cannot even reinstall (or uninstall) it.

Might ANYONE know how to fix this? This is for an iPad Air running iOS 12.1 along with the Chimera Jailbreak. Whoever’s suggestion works I am happy to PAY$$$. Anyway - hope someone can help?!?
