[besuck]

hi there, just installed and when i select retropie from home menu, screen goes black for a second and then boots back in osmc

[Lannjk]

Can confirm this.

During the installation, on the Remove old SDL2 screen I get

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Then

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libsdl2:armhf:
 libsdl2:armhf depends on libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2); however:
  Package libxcursor1 is not installed.

Then, after Getting the RetroPie Setup script I get

After Updating package database to revert changes I get

After the script finished I tried the following

Package libudev0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libudev0' has no installation candidate

Maybe there's something wrong with the sources?
