[mythtvnz] Myth system completely broken...

[Ross and Jemima Knudsen]

Hi all,

I wasn't trying to do anything on purpose but I allowed some updates on 
my system and now Myth is completely bust.  I'm using JYA's release repo 
on Ubuntu 9.04.  I got package upgrade notifications and in a moment of 
stupidity I applied them.  So I tried various options to try and fix it 
but without success.  Now I have completely removed Myth and when I try 
and reinstall it is still broken. 

Something strange I notice is that libmyth-0.22-0 is listed as an 
available package in Synaptic (the 0.21 one is there too) and when I try 
and install mythtv package it wants to install the 0.22 library instead 
of the 0.21 one.  I thought this repo was still 0.21-fixes only.

When I do install everything the frontend comes up with an error saying 
that it the backend and frontend are using two different protocols. 

Also the database wizard (myth-database reconfigure) doesn't work 
correctly.  When I try entering the password it just fails and 
eventually will exit when you type the password a couple of times.  I 
know the password is correct because I can use it to log into phpmyadmin 
with it.

Anyone else having trouble?
