Hello ,
i just installed Kodi from Debian 10 repository.
Found out that the Samba Share option (Windows network (SMB) gives error
"Error2: Share not available"
in Terminal the error shows up as
mkdir failed on directory /var/cache/samba: Permission denied
Noticed that this error was also present in Debian Stretch if i am not
mistaken.
