Hi Stef,

Thanks for the reply.

Here is the full log:

/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mythtv is broken or not fully installed

~# dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv
[returned nothing]

~# apt-get install mythtv

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mythtv:
 mythtv depends on mythtv-database (= 0.18-1); however:
  Package mythtv-database is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing mythtv (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 mythtv-database
 mythtv
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

~# dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database
[I put in root with an empty password for MySQL]

All ideas more than welcome.


Cheers,
Tim
