    Lubuntu 12.10 Mythtv dependencies

    Hi

    Trying to install mythtv on Lubuntu 12.10 through the Software Center but am getting a message saying that Package dependencies cannot be resolved.

    Through apt-get I get this output:

    john@john-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install mythtv-frontend
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    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
    Depends: libmyth-0.25-0 (>= 2:0.25.2+fixes.20120802.46cab93) but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    Thanks

    Same result. Could it be that MythTV has not been updated in the repositories?

    For me, libx264-120 was the root missing package. I manually downloaded and installed the appropriate *.deb file from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal...ge/libx264-120 after selecting the "Published Version" appropriate for my computer. After installing that, apt-get should be able to successfully install the mythtv-backend package and its remaining dependencies.

    Re: Lubuntu 12.10 Mythtv dependencies

    I also was having this issue when trying to update mythtv through the software updater. There is a dependence issue in the ubuntu repo, I had to add the mythbuntu 0.26 ppa. But the mythfrontend in 0.26 isn't as stable, it locks up every time I exit, I'm about to try downgrading libx264 to reinstall the version in the ubuntu repo.
