If Kodi is unable to install a dependency, it can be frustrating as it may prevent you from using certain add-ons. Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:
1. Check your internet connection: If Kodi is having trouble installing a dependency, it could be due to a poor internet connection. Make sure your device is connected to a stable and fast internet connection.
2. Clear Kodi cache: Clearing Kodi's cache may help fix dependency installation issues. To do this, go to the Kodi home screen and select "Settings" > "File Manager" > "Profile directory" > "Database" > "Addons" and delete the file "addon*.db". Then restart Kodi and try installing the dependency again.
3. Update Kodi: An outdated version of Kodi may cause issues with dependency installation. Make sure you are running the latest version of Kodi by going to "Settings" > "System" > "System info" and checking for updates.
4. Install dependencies manually: If Kodi is still unable to install a dependency, you can try installing it manually. Go to the website of the add-on you are trying to install and look for the dependencies required. Download each dependency and install them in Kodi by going to "Settings" > "Add-ons" > "Install from zip file".
5. Use a different repository: If the repository you are using is causing the dependency installation issue, try installing the add-on from a different repository.
6. Uninstall and reinstall the add-on: If none of the above steps work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the add-on. This will remove any files related to the add-on, including dependencies, and allow you to start from scratch.
If none of these steps work, it may be best to seek help from the Kodi community or the developer of the add-on you are trying to install.
