[mythtv-users] Dependancy conflicts with "apt-get installmythtv-suite"

[Ian Lesnet]

I had this problem a few days ago.  Look at Jarrod's guide.  It describes
commenting out kde-* sites from the apt-get repository list.  I was using an
old (printed) version and missed this update.

Also, you may benefit from the knowledge that version .14 will not work
properly because of xmltv failing and the need to change to datadirect.  I
spent yesterday trying to figure out how to install CVS version of .15 from
Axel's atrpms which has datadirect (I am also a "green noob").  Here is what
i did:


1. Edit the /etc/apt/ repository list.  Change the atrpms from at-stable to
at-bleeding.
2. Next, I ran apt-get update to pull in the new package lists.
3. Then, because I wasn't sure how to install the CVS version instead of the
regular version with apt-get, I booted synaptic from my su# prompt.
4. I searched for mythtv and saw that synaptic showed the cvs versions as
available upgrades (I had already installed version .14).
5. I chose to upgrade mythtv-suite which also selected alot of other
packages.

6. NOTE:  it did not automagically select the updated setup program.  I had
to select this individually for upgrade. This is important because this is
where the new datadirect setup is.

7. I ran the upgrade and have mythtv back without a hitch, though there
seems to be some minor instability in the news module, but that could be me,
nothing I can't live with.

By the way, props on the new xml listing system.  It works great.  Guide
data for twelve days was pulled in under 2 minutes for me.  With the scraper
it took hours.  i also love the new web page scheduler functionality, and
the great enhancements to the scheduling and play interface.  the coolest
thing is probably that it will now change channels if the show is on, and
schedule it for recording if it is in the future.


Cheers,

ian
