Title:
  Mythbuntu-Repos fails to install on Linux Mint

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When trying to install mythbuntu-repos with gdebi on mint10-julia-
  64bit: 8.8-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu~auto20101116001839 this fails with E:
  Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  In Gdebi, I see that the problem lies in Debconf (or what is handed to
  it): "use of unitialized value" in some Perl module (see screenshot)

  In addition, in mythbuntu-control-centre, occasionally the
  "Repositories" tab was there twice. When it was there, it was still
  not possible to select a repo and an upgrade path. Now it's gone
  again.

  Update 02/19/2013-
  mythbuntu-repos.py queries lsb_release to get the distribution codename, but LinuxMint doesn't return a valid Ubuntu codename- even though the mythbuntu packages are pulled from Ubuntu upstream. The Ubuntu codename can be pulled from elsewhere, though (such as the apt db).
