[mythtv-users] backend disaster

[Yan Seiner]

I am running debian lenny with myth installed from 
http://www.debian-multimedia.org/

I rebooted after a recent update and found that many GUI apps would no 
longer work.  Closer examination found that many files in /usr/share are 
missing, along with gobs of other files.

The file system isn't corrupt; it looks like package updates deleted the 
old files but then didn't install the new files.  This seems to have 
happened on dozens if not hundreds of packages - too many to fix.  I am 
migrating everything to the backup server and will reinstall debian 
lenny on this server.

The only thing I can think of is some bizarre interaction between 
packages from different repositories or something else that broke during 
the process, or something to do with the recent release of lenny beta....

Has anyone seen anything like this? I'ts truly bizarre in my book.
