I've been trying to get myth installed on a Athlon 64 Fedora3 for a
while now. I was following Jarod's FAQ to the letter and was always
getting hung up with the apt-get update. The error kept coming back that
I had duplicate packages installed and they had to be removed first.
I met j-rod in IRC and he explained to me that it was because apt-get
would not work with x86 distros as apt didn't know what version of the
OS I had and he then recommended YUM to do the updating. I took his
recommendation and used yum to update my packages.
......until it came time to " *yum* *install* *mythtv*-suite " ...then I
see it searching all the repos and it comes back with "Nothing to do"
I then started googling my problem and came across a conversation on
ATrpms-users which is below.
My question is, Am I looking for answers to something that is not
solved? Does anyone have suggestions to get around this problem I am
having? I really don't want to reinstall another OS. I'm just wondering
how many other x86 people have had this problem. I'm not too versed in
linux yet, so without a good faq like I was following, I doubt I will
get my box up and running.
Thanks, pookSter

Perhaps I dropped mythtv-suite on x86_64 when not all parts could be
built? I remember users crying on mythtv-suite on x86_64 when
mythphone and mythmusic would not built. Looks like my old grey cells
are striking these days :(
So the wrapper package just isn't there, I'll build it again in the
next site update.
Thanks, Jarod, for spotting this!
