Hello,

I receive the following error message when I attempt to apt-get
install mythtv-suite.

[root at stumpy ~]# apt-get install mythtv-suite
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
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:
  mythtv-suite: Depends: mythvideo (>= 0.17) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: mythmkmovie (>= 1.0.1) but it is not going to
be installed
E: Broken packages

I've verified my /etc/apt/sources.list file to make sure there is no
kde-redhat references[root at stumpy ~]# apt-get install mythtv-suite

I've googled around a bit and checked several links in gossamer
threads.  This seems to be a frequently asked question, but I still
cannot find a suitable solution.  Here's what I've tried:

1. Ensure that kde-redhat is removed from /etc/apt/sources.list
2 (a). rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*
   (b). rpm -vv --rebuilddb
3. apt-get update
4. atp-get dist-upgrade
5. apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true install mythtv-suite
6. Change from at-stable to at-testing, and apt-get update

All of these yielded the same error message.  In this thread
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/53184?search_string=apt-get%20install%20mythtv-suite;#53184)
Nathan says that he started over.  Do I just need to start over again?

Here's the rest of the information:

All-in one system
Fedora Core 3
i686 arch
Jarod's install guide
PVR-350

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt.
