Hi Mario,

Thanks for having another look at his bug for me.

I tried to download the fix, but I received the message: "Error: page
not found".

On that screen, there is a search function, so I typed in the final
part, which I presume is the name of a file: "778864.patch".  This gave
me:
    Messages by date : Mailing list archive : mythbuntu-bugs team in ...
    From: richcdev, 2011-06-03; [Bug 778864] Re: mythtv-common 0.24
failed to upgrade from 0.23 .... lirc_dev-2.6.33.patch breaks
lirc-nct677x-src ...

When I clicked on the top line, it gave me a long listing by date.  I
found 2 items from richcdev on 2011-06-03, but not for bug 778864.  I
read through those items, but, although there seemed to be some
similarity with my bug, there was no mention of "778864.patch".

On the next date (2011-06-02), there was a message from me about bug
778864, but again, nothing about the patch.

So, I hope that you can find that patch & guide me to it.

Something odd: I just tried to access the bug report record on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778864
& Launchpad again says: "There’s no page with this address in
Launchpad."

I tried with some other bug numbers, & they display OK...

Best regards, Garry.

Title:
  mythtv-common 0.24 failed to upgrade from 0.23

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 10.10 + MythTV frontend on this PC.
  I have Myth TV 0.24 (combined back- & font-ends) installed on a different PC.
  I wanted to be able to access the backend from the PC that I am now using.
  Originally, I installed the package listed in Synaptic (ver 0.23).  However, when I tried to set it up, it would not allow me to continue, due to the different database versions (or words to that effect).
  I then looked up how to get a PPA, entered that detail into the synaptic repository sources, & downloaded the update to 0.24.
  During the installation of the update, mythtv-common failed, reporting these lines of text:
  setting up mythtv-common (2:0:24.0+fixes.20110507.5d38c49-0ubuntu0mythbuntu2) ...
  sed: -e expression #1, char 45: unknown option to 's'
  dpkg: error processing myth-common (--configure):
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already;
  There was also this error message:
  E: mythtv-common: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  E: mythtv-frontend: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

  There was enough of MythTV working to be able to set it up.
  However, it drops to a black screen whenever I use esc.

  The availability of this remote frontend is not time critical.
  However, I would like to finalise the setup & be able to say that this
  task is finished & working.

  I can appreciate that working with a PPA has risks.  After I installed
  0.24 on my front & backend PC, I disabled the PPA in the repository
  source, so that I wouldn't get updates.  I plan to move to 11.04 later
  this month & then allow all updates.

  I hope that this information is of help.  Regards, Garry.
