Mythbuntu 0.28 PPA issues

[Kwisher]

Hello all,

The past several days I have been seeing some issues when trying to install mythtv updates. Today a normal update wants to remove mythtv-frontend from my ubuntu 14.04 be/fe and Mint-18 fe. On the ubuntu box I receive the following message when trying to re-install mythtv-frontend after it was removed with apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, which has always worked for me for years.

Code: Select all

root@garage:/home/kevin# apt-get install mythtv-frontend

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-frontend : Depends: mythtv-common but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Weird thing is, mythtv-common is already installed.

mythtv-common is already the newest version.

Anyone else seeing this issue and is there a solution?

I'm seeing it as well so if you find a solution please post.

EDIT found this, reports that the next build will have this fixed, i'm just going to wait for it as it should be out in the next day or two.

Thanks for the update. Think I'll just wait for the maintainers fixes as this isn't causing me any downtime at the moment.

[skinah]

It fixed and working now. All I did was:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install mythtv-frontend

[Kwisher]

Yes, working for me also.

There currently seems to be a re-occurrence of this for me.

Anyone else getting this again?

[Kwisher]

Not here, haven't seen any Myth updates for at least a week now.

[halucigenia]

Still getting it.
This is on a new build on Kubuntu 16.10.
I have the PPA set up but get the following when trying to install the latest updates:-

You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 mythtv-frontend : Depends: transcode but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Yes, I am sure, I have removed and re-added it several times already to see if that helps.

[halucigenia]

Yay, the latest update seems to have fixed it.
