hey all... trying to respond in proper threaded fashion... hope it works.

anyway, I saw Mike Kreitz's post of Feb 9; i'd been having the exact same 
problem.  extra super frustrating, as i'm a linux n00b yet.  same situation:
fresh fedora core 1 install following awesome guide at: 
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/.  when at step of apt-get install mythtv-suite, 
the following errors spit out:


The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mythtv-suite: Depends: mythtv (>= 0.14) but it is
not going to be installed
                Depends: mythtv-backend (>= 0.14) but
it is not going to be installed
                Depends: mythtv-frontend (>= 0.14) but
it is not going to be installed
                Depends: mythmusic (>= 0.14) but it is
not going to be installed
                Depends: mythvideo (>= 0.14) but it is
not going to be installed
                Depends: mythweb (>= 0.14) but it is
not going to be installed
...

and so on.  what a pain.
i tried multiple apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade to make sure that 
stuff wasn't tits up, no errors on other packages.
i think i traced it back to problems with lirc somehow, as that seemed to be 
the lowest in the mythtv-suite chain that didn't work.  or the first to 
break.  just a guess, though.
anyway, i'd followed every step and it still was giving me above errors.

only thing i could think of that i'd done NOT explicit in jarod's 
instructions was the installation of xine i did, perhaps sometime along the 
pre-setup of mythtv.  so... way out on a limb here, i removed xine, either 
through synaptic or rpm -e, don't remember which.

only SMALL difference was that I used 
kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl_35.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm, a small version 
change than jarod's current web page.

well.... like i say, don't know if it's the answer, but whatever I did 
finally worked, after a number of rounds of apt-getting and removing xine.  
i did have some confict issues after the first error, but those were solved 
easily enough by removing 2 offending packages.  lirc and xawtv or something 
similar.


SO, maybe that makes sense, maybe not.  but i thought i'd share what little 
i got.
