[mythtv-users] Unable to install MythTV on UbuntuMATE Linux 16.04

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

I have just unsuccessfully tried, using the Ubuntu Software Centre, to
download and install MythTV, on UbuntuMATE Linux 16.04.x .

The version of MythTV that I tried to install, from the Ubuntu
Software Centre, is shown as
mythtv 2:0.28.0+fixes.20160413.15cf421-0ubuntu2.16.04.1

The error message showed

"
To install MythTV Backend Setup, these items must be removed:
Mysql database server binaries
mysql-server-core-5.6
"

Is it correct that MythTV conflicts with MySQL, and that the two are
mutually exclusive?

Thank you in anticipation.
