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

[George Poulson]

My understanding is that he *buntu packages want to install MariaDB, which
will conflict with MySQL.

Unless you really need MySQL then I would uninstall it and use the
recommended packages.

Also the *buntu packages will give you a less-than-up-to-date version of
MythTV (I have just installed 0.29-fixes on a LUuntu 16.04.1 base.

There is some very good information here: Installing MythTV on Ubuntu -
MythTV Official Wiki
