I imagine that "sudo apt-get install mythexport" would fail similarly unless<br>
I make corrections somewhere ?mkdir? maybe?<br>
I've drag n dropped files out of mythtv before but it is anything but<br>
elegant. Can anyone enlighten me as to how to make corrections which would<br>
allow me to install mythexport and there by move files properly? TIA<br>
Daryl.<br>

you dont mention what version of ubunutu/mythbuntu your running (I'm<br>
guessing Trusty (14.04) from the version its installing, you could download<br>
the package from<br>
<a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/mythexport/download" target="_blank">http://packages.ubuntu.com/<u></u>trusty/amd64/mythexport/<u></u>download</a><br>
<br>
and extract the files manually, perhaps the installation script has invalid<br>
mkdir syntax<br>

No, it's likely at some point he fed it an empty dir string. At least<br>
that is what the developer told me.<br>
<br>
Try this.<br>
<br>
"sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythexport"<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

Um, at what point during any package install do you get offered a prompt to enter a directory? I can't think of a single one offhand.<br>
<br>
The package is broken. Even if a path /was/ required, a suitable default ought to have been supplied.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>
