Andrew, thanks for the reply -  its the master backend.  I like your
work, the status stuff is quite cool.

Incidentally, after reconfiguring the mythtv-database and the
mythtv-frontend, all is happy and the output of mythtv-status was... 

MythTV status for localhost
===========================
Status..........: Mon Jun 30 2008, 12:14 PM
Total Disk Space: Total space is 300,452 MB, with 292,932 MB used
(97.5%)

Encoders:
media (1) - Recording
media (3) - Idle
media (5) - Idle

Recording Now:
ONE News At Midday (TV ONE) Ends: 12:30:00

Scheduled Recordings:
2008-06-30 16:00:00 - Sticky TV (TV3)
2008-06-30 20:30:00 - Bones (TV3)
2008-07-01 16:00:00 - Sticky TV (TV3)

I'm still not entirely clear as to what broke.  Was it the order of the
dependencies?
would the output of my term.log from the /var/log/apt/ folder be of any
use?
