2. Repository
If you have cleared the cache, the second step is to install the repository.

The add-on shows incompatibility issues when the mentioned file is corrupted. To restore the addons27.db file, you have to open settings in Kodi, go to the file manager, and tap on the profile directory option. From this page, choose database, select addons27.db, and delete it. Once deleted, you’ve to open Kodi’s home screen and exit the app. Lastly, just reopen Kodi and install the add-on again (reopening the Kodi app will restore the file).
