I think (better guess) you forgot to

	apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

_right after_ installing atrpms-kickstart.

But to find the problem try the following

a) add "-o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true" to the apt command, e.g.
   apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true install ...

b) try the failed packages by themselfes, e.g.
   apt-get install mythvideo

Please report the broken dependency.
