[mythtv-users] Problem with PPA?

[David Williams]

 I had a similarproblem to sgreene59 of unmet dependencies when after upgrading Iattempted to install mythtv-frontend. By entering them one by onewith the exception of transcode they installed just fine.
Now when I attemptto install mythv-frontend I receive this message:The followingpackages have unmet dependencies: mythtv-frontend :Depends: transcode but it is not installableE: Unable to correctproblems, you have held broken packages.
I did a bit ofdigging into Ubuntu and I discovered the following regardingtranscode in yakkety:
There is no currentrelease of this source package in The Yakkety Yak. You can stillreport bugs, make translations, and so on, but they might not be useduntil the package is published. 
I’m stymied atthis point and I welcome advice.

 Strange behavior: I copied the held back items from the "sudo apt upgrade" line and pasted them into "sudo apt install".

They installed without complaint.

I haven't pinned anything. It has the fixes version from 10/7, the version from 10/13 is held back. I see some evidence that there is a package dependency for ntp that is broken.

Did you pin any packages? This was fixed awhile ago.

8 days later and I'm still getting the following message from apt:


The following packages have been kept back:
  init init-system-helpers libmyth-0.28-0 libmyth-python linux-firmware
  mytharchive mythbrowser mythmusic mythnetvision mythnews mythtv-backend
  mythtv-backend-master mythtv-common mythtv-database mythtv-doc
  mythtv-frontend mythtv-transcode-utils mythweather mythweb php-mythtv


This is only on the box running my primary backend (Mint 18, Cinnamon). None of my other boxes have this issue. What's going on?

I'm still getting:

initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket

insserv: Default-Stop  undefined, assuming empty stop  runlevel(s) for

when upgrading.

It is no wonder that it can't find Upstart, when the Xenial is using systemd.
