Error text in /var/log/apt/term.log:

dpkg: error processing mythtv-backend (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mythtv-backend-master:
mythtv-backend-master depends on mythtv-backend (=
0.21.0+fixes19961-0ubuntu8); however:
Package mythtv-backend is not configured yet.
Preconditions: user mythtv and group mythtv already present in
/etc/passwd and /etc/group (for nfs mappings), however there was no home
directory for user mythtv.
After adding a home dir in /home/mythtv, the problem disappeared.
Possible solution:
on installing, check uid and gid but also check if homedir for mythtv exists
and is writable
