Howdy Douglas,

Due to the challenge of getting the mythplugins and mythtv packages to
*always* have the same upstream mythtv revision despite possible
different compile/build times, the Ubuntu packagers are trying out a
singled combined mythtv+mythplugins package.  The error above is a
result of a conflicts not being set properly yet... you should be able
to simply remove mythplugins package to eliminate this error, and
still have the plugins.

In the future, please feel free to report these types of issues on
launchpad or on the #ubuntu-mythtv-dev IRC channel.

Have fun,

   Marc
