[mythtv-users] Muthbuntu baffling issue - backend on wrong port somehow

[Michael MacLeod]

I upgraded from the weekly -fixes builds to the trunk builds, and I too ran
into port related issues. Mine were easily solved by re-running
mythtv-setup, but it certainly appears that the default ports have changed
in the trunk builds.

The bigger problem I've run into is that on my frontend system
ubuntu-mythtv-frontend wont install properly. apt-get install
ubuntu-mythtv-frontend will install it, but if I apt-get upgrade after that,
it's listed as needing to be updated. Clearly this weeks builds are not
stable or even usable.
