The issue with this is that Linux Mint 10 doesn't report a valid Ubuntu
code name when queried with lsb_release -c -s. Valid codenames would be
maverick, lucid, karmic, etc. Linux Mint 10 reports "julia". Using apt-
add-repository correctly adds the line as maverick, so I know it exists
somewhere on the machine. I've dug pretty far into apt-add-repository
and assiociated python imports, but it still looks like it pulls from
lsb_release.

At this point I can't/won't fix the issue. I've put forth a question in
the linuxmint irc channel regarding where that comes from, so if someone
in there tells me where it comes from (needs to return 'maverick' on
Linux Mint 10) or if someone here posts how I can get that then I will
take another look at fixing it.

Title:
  Mythbuntu-Repos fails to install on Mint10-Julia

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When trying to install mythbuntu-repos with gdebi on mint10-julia-64bit: 8.8-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu~auto20101116001839 this fails with E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

In Gdebi, I see that the problem lies in Debconf (or what is handed to it): "use of unitialized value" in some Perl module (see screenshot)

In addition, in mythbuntu-control-centre, occasionally the "Repositories" tab was there twice. When it was there, it was still not possible to select a repo and an upgrade path. Now it's gone again.
