on Xbox, again
Vladan,
I feel your pain. I cannot wait to hear an answer. I even
tried to compile from source, but that resulted in other errors.
I am not
concerned with the long build times, so I would appreciate it if some
itelligent person could spell out the steps to compile from source that work on
an xbox.
I
compiled my backend from source for a Mandrake machine, so I am familiar with
the process. I am confused as to what source to use for a debian (xbox)
install. Should I just grab the source according to the mythtv install
instructions? Or should I use the source that has already been packaged
at "deb-src http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian unstable
mythtv"? I reviewed that source at http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian and the source for
mythtv appears to be based on 0.18.1.4 and the plug-ins on 0.18.1.2. Is this a
concern?
Any
thoughts?
thanks
mike

I have written before with my difficulties with installing mythtv on
Xebian. No matter what repositories I used I couldn't manage to install
mythtv.
I got some suggestions on this list. Specifically to follow the
instructions at this page:
<http://www.mythtv-xbox.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php\?t=36>
and use the apt sources posted in a reply.
Well, yesterday I finally found the time to try that by doing a Xebian
1.1.4 install from scratch.
I managed to install mythtv-frontend, but when I try to install
mythvideo I get a broken packages error (details below).
I browsed the www.mythtv-xbox.org forums and it seems that I'm not alone
with this problem, and that nobody got beyond installing the frontend.
It all must have worked some time ago, but it doesn't anymore.
The errors are probably due to Xebian using sarge, while the mythtv
repository uses sid.
What should I do now? Should I do a dist-upgrade? Should I try
recompiling MythTv (and wait a few days for it to finish)?
================
Here are the details. I installed Xebian 1.1.4 from scratch and followed
the instructions on the above-mentioned page, and used the following
source.list:
-----
xbox:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main
deb http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian unstable mythtv
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free
contrib
-----
First I installed mythtv-frontend:
-----
# apt-get install mythtv-frontend
[....]
OK, installs 21 packeges, upgrades 13 (including glibc).
-----
Then I tried installing mythvideo, and here it fails:
-----
xbox:~# apt-get install mythvideo
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... 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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mythvideo: Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.4) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
