It might work for you.

Do you have kodi running after the updates then?

No such luck with the alsa packages (did an apt-get install --reinstall just to make it really do something ).

Kodi is running, and even the audio works, which is somewhat of a surprise. It now has only the audio output options "Analogue", "HDMI" and "HDMI and Analogue", missing the Alsa options (i.e. falling back to the Kodi-internal RPi audio support). My verdict would be that it's Alsa that was broken in the recent update.

Oh, and the problem host is a RPi 2 (Machine model: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1), if that makes a difference. I have an identical model on which I haven't yet run the update which still works (so if anybody wants any kind of debug comparison on them I can provide that).
