I can speak to one of your problems. After doing a fresh install
from a Mythbuntu iso there is no need to install "aptitude" to
"manually force" the upgrade from 0.25 to 0.27.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>
Yes, use Myth-Control-Center to select the 0.27 repository. If,
when you then go to the "update manager" and select "install", it
offers you a "partial upgrade" or informs you that "packages are
being held back", you should decline and cancel out of the "update
manager" and open up a "terminal" session.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>
At the command line do:<br></div>
<div>
sudo apt-get update<br></div>
<div>
and then do:<br></div>
<div>
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>
The above procedure is outlined at the second to the last bullet
near the bottom of:<br></div>

<div>
Just guessing here but perhaps doing a "manual forced" update with
aptitude has mucked some things up.?.<br></div>

When I got the "held back" error message when attempting to upgrade to 0.27 I Googled it and came across this <a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/601/the-following-packages-have-been-kept-back-why-and-how-do-i-solve-it">http://askubuntu.com/questions/601/the-following-packages-have-been-kept-back-why-and-how-do-i-solve-it</a> see that apparently "<br></div>
<div>
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" could be a dangerous thing to do, I opted for the aptitude solution given in the thread.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>I don't think aptitude mucked anything up, certainly there were no errors during the upgrade process and so long as I'm running the frontend on the backend machine everything appears well.<br></div>
