Status in “mythexport” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Binary package hint: mythexport Up to date 10.4 beta system with mythbackend installed... sudo apt-get install mythexport fails claiming that it requires libmyth-perl and "it is not going to be installed". On investigating I find that libmyth-perl requires libmythtv-perl (package name change) but libmythtv-perl lists libmyth-perl as a conflict and so apt-get is in an unsolvable quandary. It wasn't until I downloaded and tried the packages manually with dpkg that I found that the problem was with the conflicts listing for libmythtv-perl... Selecting previously deselected package libmyth-perl. dpkg: regarding libmyth-perl_0.23.0+fixes23789-0ubuntu1_all.deb containing libmyth-perl: libmythtv-perl conflicts with libmyth-perl libmyth-perl (version 0.23.0+fixes23789-0ubuntu1) is to be installed. dpkg: error processing libmyth-perl_0.23.0+fixes23789-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing libmyth-perl Errors were encountered while processing: libmyth-perl_0.23.0+fixes23789-0ubuntu1_all.deb av...@myth:~$ apt-cache search libmyth-perl libmyth-perl - Transitional package to move people to libmythtv-perl av...@myth:~$ apt-cache show libmyth-perl Package: libmyth-perl Priority: optional Section: universe/libs Installed-Size: 56 Maintainer: MythTV Ubuntu Maintainers <ubuntu-myt...@lists.ubuntu.com> Architecture: all Source: mythtv Version: 0.23.0+fixes23789-0ubuntu1 Depends: libmythtv-perl Filename: pool/universe/m/mythtv/libmyth-perl_0.23.0+fixes23789-0ubuntu1_all.deb Size: 28926 MD5sum: 799b599cbbd2d252e29cac305319a6ec SHA1: edee3b93a3c933e0ccbcbf493952f9873cf63b66 SHA256: 02ea4c0b3ae383bbef2c4abc9e9807a9245a5ce73ede2a2070d96b6c611eb089 Description: Transitional package to move people to libmythtv-perl This is a dummy package to help assist people with the transition to the new package name for storing the mythtv perl bindings. .

Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: mythexport: Depends: libmyth-perl but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages Yes, I know of course that 10.4 is an unstable distribution at the moment, but these broken dependency seems to have been this way for at least the last week (since I first tried to install mythexport.) It looks to me that just changing the mythexport dependency to require libmythtv-perl instead of libmyth-perl would be the easy fix. (Or possibly require one or the other). Oh, I should also note that this system was a "clean" install from a 10.4 alpha 3 disc. The version of mythexport that is shown to be available for install is 2.1.3-0ubuntu1 Thanks! _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : mythbuntu-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
