It's in one of the extra repositories for 2008, but I have no idea which one, so I've added it to the file list on the garage project site.

This is the dpkg output when trying to install mysql-common...

Nah, afraid adduser has not fixed it. Still getting the error as described above. A powercycle has not done anything either.

I've tried removing all associated packages, and all the mysql/mythtv users & config from my n810:

apt-get remove mysql-common libmysqlclient15off libqt3-mt libqt3-mt-mysql libmyth-0.21 mythtv-common mythtv-frontend mythtv-themes
userdel mythtv
groupdel mythtv
rm -rf /etc/mysql/ /etc/mythtv/

and then re-installing with the following command:

dpkg -i mysql-common_5.0.32-7chinook1_all.deb libmysqlclient15off_5.0.32-7chinook1_armel.deb libqt3-mt_3.3.7-4chinook1_armel.deb libqt3-mt-mysql_3.3.7-4chinook1_armel.deb libmyth-0.21_0.21-maemo0_armel.deb mythtv-common_0.21-maemo0_all.deb mythtv-frontend_0.21-maemo0_armel.deb mythtv-themes_0.21-0.0_all.deb

and everything works fine, so I can't seem to repeat this bug :-S. Can anyone else? I've even checked the md5sum of the package I'm installing vs the one on the garage file releases, and they are identical.

Please post here if you have a successful install.

gazza_d: are you installing as root? I've only tested it as root, you must install gainroot and then in a terminal login as root with "sudo gainroot". Also try creating /etc/mysql, although I really don't think that's the problem. You should be able to install the other packages and use mythtv even with that error, but apt-get is going to complain that it hasn't finished configuring.

thanks for your efforts Yani. yes I am installing as root.

I have tried installing libmysqlclient15off forcing no-dependencies, as normally that wil not install due to no mysql-common, but that then fails with a post-install script error.

I have also tried copying the files to /home/use before installing them, as currently they are on a SD card.

Just tried it with your command string to see if it would just skip over the errors and install anyways.

Libxinerama1 and libxxf86vm1 need to be installed, as they are listed as dependancies of mythtv-frontend.

below is the dpkg output...

Thanks, I'll add those to the list. BTW I just re-created the problem on a clean install of OS2008, I think it was because the package I ported was a backport of mysql 5, and expects to be upgrading mysql 4. I'm going to remove the mysql-common dependency since you don't need it (it just makes /etc/mysql/my.cnf) for now, and update the libmysqlclient15off package.

Great Yani, at least I'm not turning mad or stupid :-)!

Can you please check libmysqlclient15off on a clean install before uploading, as I've been having problems, but it could be just the dependancy causing trouble, or it could be the backport.

cheers

You'll probably have to run the following to remove the mysql-common problems (and for any other package that it complains it can't find a package for when you try to remove it)

dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq mysql-common

I'm going to modify the libqt3-mt-mysql package so it depends on libmysqlclient15 instead of libmysqlclient15off, which is as it should, and that should allow us to use one of the available ports of libmysqlclient15 which are out there already such as:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=225202

at least until I work out what I screwed up with my packages!
