Hi John, thanks für your mail.
I did that what you mentioned.
After clearing the system I installed openshot and went on these errors.

a) python-mlt (the new one) is installating the mlt-things in directories
called .../mlt/
These directory istn't set up in the installation by installing openshot or
püython-mlt.
I checked that by starting the interpreter and found the sys.path without
those mlt-direcories:
call python interpreter by typing python, then 'import sys' and sys.path
should give you the information.
To work around this you canset the PYTHONPATH Variable which is preloded the
sys.path and is accessible from the shell.
b) The Library ...so.2 is called, but on my system it is set up to so.3. So
I hard linked it fromone toanother and every went fine.

at least b) sould be fixed from this great guy Jonathan, because the libs
will increase their numbers in future. For that I wrote it.
Thanks for your mail, inbetween some others running on this, I found Question
#95857 <https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+question/95857>on launchpad.

Best Regards from Germany - CU in the net.
