Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythgallery, mythmusic, mythvideo

  When /var/lib/mythtv is mounted over NFS, the following MythTV plug-in
  packages will fail to configure: mythgallery, mythmusic, mythvideo.
  These packages attempt to change ownership/permissions on
  subdirectories of /var/lib/mythtv, which is not allowed with a typical
  server-side NFS configuration.  The failures will occur even if the
  permissions are already set correctly on these directories, and even
  if completely different directories are configured in the database
  settings.

  Setting up mythgallery (0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1) ...
  chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/mythtv/pictures': Operation not permitted
  dpkg: error processing mythgallery (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Setting up mythvideo (0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1) ...
  chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/mythtv/videos': Operation not permitted
  dpkg: error processing mythvideo (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Setting up mythmusic (0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1) ...
  chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/mythtv/music': Operation not permitted
  dpkg: error processing mythmusic (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

  This issue is likely to occur for those who use NFS when upgrading
  from version 0.20 to 0.21 in gutsy-backports or hardy.  A possible
  workaround is to temporarily unmount the NFS, then completely
  reinstall all three packages.  Note that simply retrying the configure
  after unmounting does not necessarily work, since those directories
  would not have been created during package install (empty mount point
  directory eclipsed by NFS mount).
