[Bug 678104] Re: Mythbuntu-Repos fails to install on Linux Mint

 

This, not surprisingly, is also still an issue in LinuxMint 13 Maya,
based on 12.04 (precise). I was getting an error launching mythbuntu-
control-centre while it was trying to load the repositories plugin.

I applied the patch, and it worked perfectly. I actually like it better
than scanning lsb-release, because it's grabbing the name right out of
the apt database that we're (potentially) going to be adding repos to.

I see no way this can break any official Ubuntu releases. I recommend
including the patch in the next build if possible.

Title:
  Mythbuntu-Repos fails to install on Linux Mint

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Incomplete

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.
