Title:
  Mythgallery installer tries to create /var/lib/mythtv/pictures on
  read-only NFS automount and complains when it can't.

Status in “mythplugins” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythplugins

  I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, and in the process it installed
  mythgallery-0.23.0+fixes21404. While doing so it tried to create
  /var/lib/mythtv/pictures, and I got an error dialog complaining about
  'error creating directory ... No such file or directory'.

  On this frontend-only machine, /var/lib/mythtv/pictures is automounted
  read-only using NFS. Hence there's no way that the installer can
  create the directory, and I doubt this is a particularly unusual
  configuration for a MythTV frontend.

  I also suspect that if it did try to automount that directory then it
  failed because I'd switched from wireless to wired network for the
  upgrade so that downloads would go faster, and that meant the
  machine's IP address changed and was no longer authorised to use the
  NFS server. Possibly the installer is smart enough not to try to
  create it if the automount works.
