Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythtv

Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:        10.04

mythtv-common:
  Installed: 0.23.0+fixes24158-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.23.0+fixes24158-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 0.23.0+fixes24158-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/multiverse Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Clean install of Lucid (regular, not Mythbuntu), installing only mythtv-frontend gave me:

/tmp/mythtv-common.config.142661: 23: pwgen: not found                                        
mythtv-common failed to preconfigure, with exit status 127

And this is true, pwgen was not installed.  But it *is* a dependency and
it *was* pulled into the install and it is *now* installed (after the
install finished).  So there is a dependency order problem, and maybe
this bug belongs to aptitude, and not mythtv-common...

Easy enough to work-around:

1) Before you install and hit this problem:
$ sudo aptitude install pwgen
$ sudo aptitude install mythtv-frontend

2) After you have tried to install, and have hit this problem:
$ sudo aptitude install pwgen
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common
