Thanks Thomas, I tried it and got a report that mythexport was broken or
not fully installed, this after removing from Software Centre, so I "sudo
apt-get install mythexport" which failed and I tried your suggestion again,
the following shows the failure and subsequent attempt:

 Setting up mythexport (2.2.4-0ubuntu2) ...
mkdir: missing operand
Try 'mkdir --help' for more information.
dpkg: error processing package mythexport (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up libpackage-stash-xs-perl (0.28-1) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu6.5) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mythexport
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythexport
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mythexport is broken or not fully installed
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$

Any other ideas?
