Title:
  package mythexport 2.2.4-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 1

Status in mythexport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Logged in as general (non admin) user, selected MythExport plugin in
  Mythbuntu Control Center, and it starts to throw system errors saying
  MythExport plugin is being stopped.

  Have uninstalled MythExport, still get the same error, now MythBackend
  does not work with startup script, must login and start mythbackend as
  root. It won't switch to mythtv user. Seems to error out and crash
  immediately.
