<p>Vladan,</p><p> </p><p><br />I feel your pain. I cannot wait to hear an answer. I even tried to compile from source, but that resulted in other errors. </p><p>I am not concerned with the long build times, so I would appreciate it if some itelligent person could spell out the steps to compile from source that work on an xbox. </p><p>I compiled my backend from source for a Mandrake machine, so I am familiar with the process. I am confused as to what source to use for a debian (xbox) install. Should I just grab the source according to the mythtv install instructions? Or should I use the source that has already been packaged at

I reviewed that source at <a target="_blank" href="parse.pl?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fdijkstra.csh.rit.edu%2F%7Emdz%2Fdebian">http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian</a> and the source for mythtv appears to be based on 0.18.1.4 and the plug-ins on 0.18.1.2.

Xebian. No matter what repositories I used I couldn't manage to install <br />
mythtv.<br />
<br />
I got some suggestions on this list. Specifically to follow the <br />
instructions at this page:<br />
<<a target="_blank" href="parse.pl?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mythtv-xbox.org%2FphpBB%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D36">http://www.mythtv-xbox.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php\?t=36</a>><br />
and use the apt sources posted in a reply.<br />
<br />
Well, yesterday I finally found the time to try that by doing a Xebian <br />
1.1.4 install from scratch.<br />
<br />
I managed to install mythtv-frontend, but when I try to install <br />
mythvideo I get a broken packages error (details below).<br />
<br />
I browsed the <a target="_blank" href="parse.pl?redirect=http://www.mythtv-xbox.org">www.mythtv-xbox.org</a> forums and it seems that I'm not alone <br />
with this problem, and that nobody got beyond installing the frontend.<br />
<br />
It all must have worked some time ago, but it doesn't anymore.<br />
<br />
The errors are probably due to Xebian using sarge, while the mythtv <br />
repository uses sid.<br />
<br />
What should I do now? Should I do a dist-upgrade? Should I try <br />
recompiling MythTv (and wait a few days for it to finish)?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
================<br />
Here are the details. I installed Xebian 1.1.4 from scratch and followed <br />
the instructions on the above-mentioned page, and used the following <br />
source.list:<br />
<br />
-----<br />
xbox:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list<br />
deb <a target="_blank" href="parse.pl?redirect=ftp%3A%2F%2Fftp.nerim.net%2Fdebian-marillat%2F">ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/</a> sid main<br />
deb <a target="_blank" href="parse.pl?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fdijkstra.csh.rit.edu%2F%7Emdz%2Fdebian">http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian</a> unstable mythtv<br />
deb <a target="_blank" href="parse.pl?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fftp.us.debian.org%2Fdebian%2F">http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/</a> unstable main non-free contrib<br />

<br />
First I installed mythtv-frontend:<br />
<br />
-----<br />
# apt-get install mythtv-frontend<br />
[....]<br />
OK, installs 21 packeges, upgrades 13 (including glibc).<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Then I tried installing mythvideo, and here it fails:<br />
<br />
-----<br />
xbox:~# apt-get install mythvideo<br />
Reading Package Lists... Done<br />
Building Dependency Tree... Done<br />
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have<br />
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable<br />
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created<br />
or been moved out of Incoming.<br />
<br />
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that<br />
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against<br />
that package should be filed.<br />
The following information may help to resolve the situation:<br />
<br />
The following packages have unmet dependencies:<br />
mythvideo: Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.4) but it is not installable<br />
E: Broken packages<br />
