I hate to mention it since you're already installed Debian, but the fastest and easiest way to get MythTv installed on Debian is to install KnoppMyth. It has everything you need, preinstalled and configured to handle 90% of the hardware out there already. Plus, the user community is pretty active and helpful. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

If you want to go through the effort of making and posting packages for sarge and/or etch, I'm sure that there are lots of us that would be very appreciative, initially. Just be prepared for the backlash when real life gets in the way of keeping your packages up to date. I've felt really bad for Matt for the amount of nagging he has gotten on this list about his packages which are, after all, a volunteer service to those of us who don't build mythtv ourselves.

What error is this and how can I resolve it? I believe the myth packages have dependancies for these packages from either etch (testing) or sid (unstable), I'm not sure which. You will need to add lines in your sources.list for the later debian releases. Pinning will probably help here if you want to stick with sarge for everything else, see the debian apt howto for more details. On a side note, does anybody know if Myth actually needs the later versions of these packages? Might be worth updating the debs so they work with Sarge if they're not required.
