You need to continue specifying all of the packages in the same command line, and repeat with new packages as necessary until it tells you an actual reason for the failure instead of just the generic "is not going to be installed". So, # apt install gnome-control-center kodi kodi-bin or # apt install gnome-control-center kodi kodi-bin=2:19.1+dfsg2-2 and then if that just fails because of another package, add that one and repeat. (Based on your 'apt-cache policy' output, I don't think specifying the explicit version number will be necessary in this case, but it may be in some other cases.) Note that if you eventually hit a command line which succeeds, you'll probably wind up marking all the listed packages as manually installed, which you may not want. It may be worth backing up your "manually-installed packages" state (as reported by the command 'apt-mark showmanual') before starting, so that after the whole thing is done with you can go back and mark specific packages as auto-installed. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Hmm. This appears to mean either that something is resulting in a conflict with that version of kodi-bin, or that that version of kodi-bin is not available.
