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

 

I've made a mapping file based on
http://www.linuxmint.com/oldreleases.php although I wish there was a
better place to grab this (so I could grab it programatically). As it
stands right now, we'll need to update mint.map every new mint release.
This is fixed in R321 of our weekly build script (see
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-weekly-
build/revision/321 ). We've fixed it in a way that should fix it for
Mint releases petra, olivia, nadia, and maya (see
http://download.mythbuntu.org/repos/repos.db ). I've pushed a new build
to our build servers, so this should be fixed as soon as of right now
(but you will need to push the refresh button in MCC).

Title:
  Mythbuntu-Repos fails to install on Linux Mint

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Fix Released

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.

  Update 02/19/2013-
  mythbuntu-repos.py queries lsb_release to get the distribution codename, but LinuxMint doesn't return a valid Ubuntu codename- even though the mythbuntu packages are pulled from Ubuntu upstream. The Ubuntu codename can be pulled from elsewhere, though (such as the apt db).
