Moving this to medium priority and targeting a 14.04 fix. After
discussion, we'll attempt making a mapping table between ubuntu and mint
(if one already exists, please tell me) that will populate the DB file.
This should resolve it all the back to 12.04 without any additional code
changes.

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).
