[mythtv-users] The dreaded mythtv-suite - mythdvd problem

[Declan Shanaghy]

I have seen on the net people having problems
installing mythtv-suite and receiving an error about
mythdvd.

I am having the same problem and so far have been
unable to resolve it from any of the suggestions i
found out there.

I have pasted in the output from commands that some
people suggested running to debug it.

The last command i ran was apt-get install mythdvd and
it the error message makes it sound like mythdvd is in
the databsae but no file exists for it, this couldnt
be the case could it

Please can someone shed some more light on this
recurring problem.


Thanks,
Declan
