Bug description:
I first did an upgrade from Mythbuntu 9.04 (64bit) with 0.21 fixes to 9.10. When activating the automatic upgrade to 0.22 fixes, as recommended on the Mythbuntu homepage, the linux-headers fail to be updated. I did a 2nd completely fresh install with the same effect - any further update procedure for the kernel seem to fail.
