First, I verified that all cards in my system are set up with max
recordings =1; actually, I never even entered the recordings options,
let alone changed them.

Second, you did look into the screenshots I provided? The capturecard
one shows in column videodevice "/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0" being
listed twice with column cardid showing 1 and 2. And the cardinput
screenshot shows each cardid linked to a separate cardinputid. Yet while
the mythtv-setup still shows only a single card, the backend-status
under mythweb shows 2 cards, and the system status in a frontend shows 2
tuners.

Furthermore, when exiting mythtv-setup it regularly complained about
input for tuner 2 pointing to a non-existing channel. However, I can't
change that from mythtv-setup, neither that card nor its input is
showing in mythtv-setup!

I fixed that by manually deleting the card 2 and input 2 from the
respective tables using phpmyadmin. It then worked as expected.

My hardware now on 0.24 is fully identical to when I used 0.23, where
this card problem did not occur. Neither did it occur when I used
previous mythtv versions, where my hardware was mostly the same. Why
then is it not a regression?

Let me know what you want me to check and I'll do. I have 4 tuners on 3
cards (1 DVB-T, 1 twin DVB-T, 1 DVB-S).

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Invalid

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv

using ppa:mythbuntu/0.24 I upgraded to mythtv 0.24 and notices that all capture cards were installed in duplicate. When I could not get rid of it, I did a fresh install of all mythtv and mysql (after purging all installed programs, and after manual deletion of all remaining database and config files ). The error remains after this new install.

While the mythtv-setup program itself shows only a single card, the database has that same card in duplicate, as can be seen in the attached screen capture from phpmyadmin. 

Likewise, a single cardinput bound to the only visible card within mythtv-setup is duplicated also, as seen in the second  phpmyadmin screenshot.
