I had the same problem the other day... I got around it by installing it
in pieces:
apt-get install mythtv-backend
apt-get install mythtv-frontend
apt-get install mythtv-suite

Didn't get the dependency errors that way.

I'm trying to install MythTV for the first time. I'm following the doc
at http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/tiki-page.php?pageName=rh9pvr250#sw. The
problem I'm having is this. When I try to run the command for installing
the suite with apt I get this:
[root at mythtv root]# apt-get install mythtv-suite
Reading Package Lists... 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:
mythtv-suite: Depends: mythvideo (>= 0.11) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: mythdvd (>= 0.11) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mythmkmovie (>= 1.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
[root at mythtv root]#

I did the following first:

Installed: atrpms-kickstart-14-1.rh9.at.i386.rpm
Ran: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
Updated the kernel: apt-get install kernel#2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at
kernel-source#2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at

I'm running this with Redhat 9 on a Dell Optiplex 150, PIII 1Ghz with
512 Meg RAM. I'm trying to use a PVR-350. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks,
James
