update 30718 throws errors

[phenigma]

This is an old version of mythtv-player that is trying to be installed for some reason.  These issues do not exist in the most recent release in the repository.  Try to:  apt-get update && apt-get install --reinstall pluto-mythtv-player

and if that doesn't work,

apt-get install pluto-mythtv-player=2.0.0.46.15051930718

This is one persistent little bugger

I followed posde's advice

It contains the libXMU error again - please move it out of the way, and try again (with the bash -x)

There you go

This is a different error thrown by the code creating mysql.txt, this has also been fixed some time ago.  The package that keeps getting installed is an old pkg and I'm not sure why it's not grabbing the latest one.

To get around this the easiest thing to do atm is edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/pluto-mythtv-player.postinst and add 'exit 0' right at the beginning of the script.  Then apt-get -f install, which should complete.  Then do a new update && upgrade to hopefully grab the latest pkg.

Seems like this one worked now :-) thanks

[phenigma]

You're welcome.  Again, sorry for the troubles.

Hey, that's okay....if it helps

* posde hates exit 0

So do I, but it was much easier than either creating the required file from scratch or editing the postinst to fix it.  Everything should right itself when the next version of the package is installed (which is fixed and is in the repo)
