Hi Jakommo,

Thanks for staying with me!

It didn't seem to want to uninstall. Here's the output of it all ...

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.
  libavcodec53 : Depends: libva1 (> 1.0.12~) but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be 
caused by he                                 ld packages.

libva1 set to manually installed.

damian at MythBox:~$ mythbackend -v

Any ideas?
