Unable to install Kodi on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 because of unmet dependency 'curl'
I was trying to install the streaming app Kodi on Ubuntu Mate 15.04, based on these directions:

I was unable to do it, because of an unmet dependency 'curl':
When I try to install curl, I get more unmet dependencies:
What is happening here, and how can I correct it?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.
Can you post the mirrors your are using?
ASKER
I don't understand the question. As you see in the captures from terminal I was just following the install instructions in the link, I am not sure what mirrors you are talking about.
Is there anything else I need to do, other then the command line instructions?

Actually the reason I have Ubuntu 15.05 on this machine is, that there was no way on earth to access wi-fi
with this installed hardware using Ubuntu 16.04. I have no idea why, but Ubuntu 16 seems to be extremely picky on
what kind of wireless network adapter it will work with. I had to replace mine in my desktop to make it work. But I don't have this luxury with this very small computer. It worked though 'out of the box' with this, with Ubuntu 15.04, so I was happy.
If I upgrade the installation perhaps, instead of a fresh install is there a chance I can still keep the wi-fi working?

I will do
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
for you when I get home today.
Please see my previous post and run
sudo apt-get update
first. It shouldn't break the wifi.
ASKER
Probably first I should try something like:
sudo apt-get install make
or possibly:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall make
I will tell you how it works.
ASKER
Well, I guess that's the real solution: Updating to Ubuntu 16. Thanks for your help.
