As requested on IRC, updated from the .deb directly, problem no longer
occurs on installation.

Thanks!

Bug description:
I just installed the mythbuntu-repos deb from http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds, and got the following errors on install:

[jk@frontend ~]$ sudo dpkg -i ./mythbuntu-repos.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package mythbuntu-repos.

Unpacking mythbuntu-repos (from ./mythbuntu-repos.deb) ...

/var/lib/dpkg/info/mythbuntu-repos.config: 120: bc: not found
[: 120: =: unexpected operator
OK

- this machine doesn't have 'bc' installed, and the repos dep doesn't provide a dependency:

[jk@frontend ~]$ dpkg --info ./mythbuntu-repos.deb
