Cannot do clean install of 64-Bit KODI V17 RC2 on up-to-date Minix Neo U-1

I tried to upgrade Kodi Beta 7 to Kodi RC2 64-Bit on a Minix Neo U-1 running Lollypop and the latest firmware.
The installer stated that the package was not installed.
I then completely removed the existing Kodi and tried again.
Again the installer refused to install the package.
Not sure whether this is “BUG” material or there is something else I need to do to get the 64-Bit version loaded on the 64 Bit Minix platform.

Note added later:
The 32-Bit version definitely does install and run.
That leads me to believe that the Minix OTA upgrade of the firmware is 32-Bit, even though there are recognized 64-Bit compilations of v5.1.x out there.
That said; I’m not sure how to upgrade to one and whether that would be wise given the box hosts other 32-Bit apps.
So much for the advertising of a 64-Bit Quad-Core Core A53 processor in the Neo U-1. It doesn’t operate that way out-of-the-box.
Hope Minix gets the OTA updates set up soon to load a 64-Bit U-1 compilation that can support the 64-Bit Kodi.
