A few weeks ago I rebuilt the mythtv debian source packages against libraries available in etch. These *might* install on xebian. Add "http://alexfisher.me.uk/debian/ etch main" to your apt sources and comment out the other mythtv source to find out. If this doesn't work, I wouldn't go as far as doing a dist-upgrade. Just change the apt sources list to point to unstable and then try installing mythvideo again. Hope this helps, Alex _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
