[mythtv-users] Mythtv - backend set up, and some frontend menus not working (with Radeon 7750).

I get;
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 : Depends: libllvm3.4:i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
/usr/sbin/ppa-purge: line 180: aptitude: command not found
Warning:  Something went wrong, packages may not have been reverted

so install of VDPAU fails as before.

My worry is the AMD driver with Catalyst control centrer was the only way I could get my two screens (VGA and HDMI) working,  cloned etc.
Everything was ok with Mythtv 0.27, and it was only the updates to 0.27.04 that stopped the menus working.
I'd prefer to actually fix the problem, or do I reinstall/revert, and never update Mythtv??
If so, can I go back, or do I have to install again from scratch.
