Oh well, I went ahead and did as suggested. I forced the packages to
version 3 from version 9 with synaptic package manager.
I then went in and selected the mythtv packages, frontend, plugins etc.
After a while I got the following error:-

Which is essentially the same error I was seeing using apt-get and
before I locked the nvidia at version 3

I also got this error too:-

Not sure where I am going wrong?
