I tried that later and got past the initial problems before hitting protocol mismatchs.
Tried again this evening did a completely clean upgrade to fixes no issue, then dist-upgrade to trunk and although the packages installed with out complaint, I now get a protocol mistmatch. I am not sure at this point if I need to open fresh bug for a set of interdependent packages that installs in a sucessful but broken way. 2009-08-16 20:49:36.946 mythfrontend version: trunk [Unknown] www.mythtv.org 2009-08-16 20:49:36.946 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2009-08-16 20:49:38.013 Empty LocalHostName. 2009-08-16 20:49:38.013 Using localhost value of malatesta 2009-08-16 20:49:38.024 New DB connection, total: 1 2009-08-16 20:49:38.030 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2009-08-16 20:49:38.033 Closing DB connection named 'DBManager0' 2009-08-16 20:49:38.055 ScreenSaverX11Private: Gnome screen saver support enabled 2009-08-16 20:49:38.057 DPMS is active. 2009-08-16 20:49:38.061 Primary screen: 0. 2009-08-16 20:49:38.062 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2009-08-16 20:49:38.064 Using screen 0, 1360x768 at 0,0 2009-08-16 20:49:38.099 MythUI Image Cache size set to 20971520 bytes 2009-08-16 20:49:38.100 Enabled verbose msgs: important general 2009-08-16 20:49:38.230 The theme (defaultmenu) is missing a themeinfo.xml file 2009-08-16 20:49:38.661 The theme (defaultmenu) is missing a themeinfo.xml file 2009-08-16 20:49:38.784 Desktop video mode: 1360x768 59 Hz 2009-08-16 20:49:38.935 Primary screen: 0. 2009-08-16 20:49:38.936 Using screen 0, 1360x768 at 0,0 2009-08-16 20:49:38.937 Using theme base resolution of 1280x720 2009-08-16 20:49:38.950 LIRC: Successfully initialized '/dev/lircd' using '/home/jim/.mythtv/lircrc' config 2009-08-16 20:49:38.950 JoystickMenuThread Error: Joystick disabled - Failed to read /home/jim/.mythtv/joystickmenurc 2009-08-16 20:49:39.149 Using the OpenGL painter 2009-08-16 20:49:39.490 Font needs a face 2009-08-16 20:49:39.490 Font needs a face 2009-08-16 20:49:39.490 Font needs a face 2009-08-16 20:49:39.490 Font needs a face 2009-08-16 20:49:39.493 Loading base theme from /usr/share/mythtv/themes/neon-wide/base.xml 2009-08-16 20:49:39.674 Loading base theme from /usr/share/mythtv/themes/default-wide/base.xml 2009-08-16 20:49:39.742 Loading base theme from /usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/base.xml 2009-08-16 20:49:39.750 Current Schema Version: 1242 2009-08-16 20:49:39.757 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2009-08-16 20:49:39.763 Protocol version mismatch (frontend=46,backend=40) -- package mythnews 0.21.0+fixes19556-0ubuntu8 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/mythtv/themes/default-wide/news-ui.xml', which is also in package mythtv-common https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410609 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
