Thanks guys the recommendation noted. I just had to ask since the process I described at the beginning worked for me when I upgraded from Mythbuntu 8.04 and MythTV 0.20 to Mythbuntu 10.04 and MythTV 0.23.1 using Update Manager. But now it looks like it worked because I upgraded Mythbuntu as well in the same go.<div>

</div></div>Hmm, where to start.<br>
<br>
1) Upgrading your system by changing your repo in your sources.list<br>
file is generally thought to be a bad idea. If you want to upgrade to<br>
a new distro release, use 'update-manager -c' instead.<br>
<br>
2) The difference between 'upgrade' and 'dist-upgrade' is that<br>
'upgrade' is only allowed to install upgrade packages that are already<br>
installed while 'dist-upgrade' is allowed to install new packages or<br>
remove packages based on new dependencies and/or conflicts. When<br>
upgrading to a new major MythTV version, it is necessary to do the<br>
'dist-upgrade' as the new libmyth package will need to be installed.<br>
The Mythbuntu team generally recommends doing the upgrade via apt-get,<br>
as it's easier to explain how to do the upgrade and also easier to see<br>
if it's trying to remove any packages that it really shouldn't (for<br>
instance if it's trying to remove half the system that probably<br>
showing signs of an inconsistant repository)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
