[mythtv-users] bttv install as per Jarod's Fedora guide

[Darren Mak]

Now that the redhat-artwork problem has been worked around... I have a
ATI TV-Wonder VE card as well as a PVR-250. When installing latest bttv
drivers using ...

apt-get install bttv

I get the following error...

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

To me what is happening is the line that says

Get:2 http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de fedora/1/en/i386/at-bleeding
bttv-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2154.nptl_31.rhfc1.at 20040105_0.9.12-33.rhfc1.at

is using 20040105_0.9.12-33.rhfc1.at but the dependancy that is required
by bttv-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2154.nptl_31.rhfc1.at is 0.9.12-32.rhfc1.at 

I guess (based on my limited 2 day old knowledge of RPMS) is that the
package dependencies are wrong or something like that. Not really a myth
problem but an RPM problem and a part of Jarod's guide to comment that
it currently does not work.

Let me know if I am wrong on those assumptions. One thing is for sure
the errors I have been receiving over the last two days are forcing me
to learn faster than I ever thought I would...
