<mvo> superm1: well, the way we use metapackage is that anything
directly under metapackage will not get marked as auto-installed. this
has the nice effect that removing ubuntu-desktop does not remove half
your system. now for the themese that is probably not what we want, so I
would suggest to put it into a different section

** Package changed: mythtv (Ubuntu) => myththemes (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- I uninstalled MythTV, but I can still run the software
+ mythtv-themes metapackage needs to be != metapackages section

** Changed in: myththemes (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

** Changed in: myththemes (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: software-center

I installed the MythTV Frontend and Backend a few days ago from the Karmic repositories.  For a few days, this worked, but I ran into some MythTV database issues that I couldn't seem to fix.  I thought that uninstalling and reinstalling the software might help.  This is where the problem started... steps to reproduce (steps in parentheses are probably not essential):

1. Install MythTV frontend in Karmic using the Software Center.
    (1a. Configure the Backend using the mythtv-setup command)
    (1b. Restart your computer a few times)
2. Uninstall the MythTV frontend using the Software Center.  This automatically uninstalls the backend as well, I think.
    (2a. Restart your computer.)

At this point, you would expect MythTV to be gone, but if you run 'mythfrontend' or 'mythtv-setup' from the command line, you can still run the software.  Actually, if I look in my menus, all the icons for MythTV are still there, and they're still functional.  Uninstalling seemed to do absolutely nothing.  If I reinstall it at this point, I highly doubt it will function like a clean installation, which was my original goal.

I'm blaming this on software-center because that's visibly what seems to be the problem.  In reality, this could be a problem with MythTV or dpkg.  I have no idea.
