Thanks for the reply. I had a typo in my original message. The 
dependency that mythtv-backend cannot find is upstart-job, not 
ubuntu-job. upstart-job doesn't seem to exist on my system.

Here are all my active sources:

deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe 
multiverse
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted 
universe multiverse
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backports main 
restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security main restricted 
universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ jaunty partner
deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos jaunty release



And here are some command outputs:

$ sudo apt-get install mythtv-backend -s
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... 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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
   mythtv-backend: Depends: upstart-job but it is not installable
E: Broken packages



$ sudo apt-get install upstart-job
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package upstart-job is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package upstart-job has no installation candidate
