Bug#1009278: kodi: cannot switch language in regional settings
Hi Alban!

I wonder how you ended up with kodi-repository-kodi not installed.
It is listed in the "Recommends" section of kodi package.

If people want to disable add-on repository completely, they either
do not install recommended packages including k-r-k or just remove
the package. This is an intended behavior for Debian's vision of user
freedoms. What you found is an unintended side effect of such
configuration.
I guess we should bundle essential add-ons like language packs into
kodi-data package, so that a completely offline system retains the
core functiinality.
