Well it sort of works a bit...

Having followed these very clear instructions (thank you Peter) I now see
mythbackend-master, libmyth-python, mythtv-dbg and libmyth at the new
versions but not the frontend or the plugins.

All the files appear to be in the Packages file OK, (I've attached it for
diagnostic purposes) but something isn't quite right!!

I've held kernel packages (I'm running a patched kernel for TBS tuner
cards) but nothing else.
