For what it's worth, my current HTPC is running Debian Buster, with the
Debian-packaged Kodi; I built it earlier this year (evidently before the
packages were removed from Buster). Pretty happy with it.

So when the current release-critical bugs are resolved, I am confident
you'll have a good straightforward set-up. Feel free to come and discuss
it again here when you get to doing that.

 Which has apparently been fixed in a package upload to
 experimental. So Kodi should be unblocked once the maintainer
 makes a normal upload to unstable.

Ok then

So I just have to be patient.

I once tried install KODI from multimedia repo but that caused enormous
amount of other problem so I stopped.

I was going to build media playing station but the project needs be
postponed due to financial problem so it is ok for now

Thank you guys.

M.W.C.

In that same period, many things have happened to the Debian 'kodi'
package https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/kodi/news/> including that
it entered "testing" and then was later removed.

You can read each news item at the above URL to find out more.

As the same qa.debian.org "excuses" page as before now indicates, the
problem is now a different bug [1]; this time, it appears to be related
to the transition to a newer (incompatible) FFmpeg release. Whether the
package ever made it into testing in the meantime or not, I don't know.

The bug was reported back in January, and the maintainer said in late
July that he'd be switching to a new upstream version (presumably, one
compatible with the newer FFmpeg) to fix the bug.

The Kodi package in current stable appears to have upstream version
17.1; the one in sid (and apparently also the slightly earlier one
against which the bug was reported) appears to have upstream version 17.6.

There are several kodi-related repositories on salsa [2], and it's not
clear which one(s) would be the appropriate ones to look at for the
status of work on updating the package to a newer upstream version. The
one for 'kodiplatform' [3] was updated just this past week, but all the
other activity on any of them seems to be prior to that July statement.

It might be worth pinging the maintainer about this, at least to ask
what the status of that switch to a newer upstream version is.

That said, given that AFAIK we're nowhere near a release of buster to
stable yet (and even the freeze isn't scheduled until early next year),
I'm not sure this absence is anything to panic about.

Oh no..

What that means (as I understand matters) is "Because this other reason
means this package couldn't make it in anyway, the automatic tools did
not consider whether or not to include it".

The other reason is cited on that page: one of the build dependencies of
kodi, in this case apparently libcec (libcec4 / libcec-dev), has a
problem which is keeping it out.

Presumably, once that other package gets fixed, it will make it in, and
kodi will also get back in at that point.
