Ramon,

As Jonatan replied, you're probably missing python-lxml.

How did you install MythTV from the Debian Multimedia repo in the
first place? Checking the site it lists python-lxml as a dependency
for mythtv-frontend, which itself is a dependency of the mythtv
meta-package which is used to install MythTV.

Cheers,
Nick
