Not sure why everyone else is trying to solve the issue after the fact when
you said it failed to install cleanly.  I would first make sure every
mythtv component is installed clean before I start troubleshooting.

Have you tried an: apt-get install --reinstall mythtv-common

Typically when an application fails to install it tells you to do a "dpkg
--configure -a", but if you could do an apt-get upgrade, it probably didn't
fail cleanly.
