Try removing mythexport once again, then run this command (to purge out 
any config files from mythexport and any other packages that have left 
stuff behind.

     sudo apt-get autoremove
     sudo apt-get remove --purge $(sudo dpkg -l | grep "^rc" | awk 
'{print $2}' | tr '\n' ' ')

After that, try reinstalling mythexport.
