This, not surprisingly, is also still an issue in LinuxMint 13 Maya, based on 12.04 (precise). I was getting an error launching mythbuntu- control-centre while it was trying to load the repositories plugin.
I applied the patch, and it worked perfectly. I actually like it better than scanning lsb-release, because it's grabbing the name right out of the apt database that we're (potentially) going to be adding repos to. I see no way this can break any official Ubuntu releases. I recommend including the patch in the next build if possible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to Mythbuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678104 Title: Mythbuntu-Repos fails to install on Linux Mint Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Incomplete Bug description: When trying to install mythbuntu-repos with gdebi on mint10-julia- 64bit: 8.8-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu~auto20101116001839 this fails with E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) In Gdebi, I see that the problem lies in Debconf (or what is handed to it): "use of unitialized value" in some Perl module (see screenshot) In addition, in mythbuntu-control-centre, occasionally the "Repositories" tab was there twice. When it was there, it was still not possible to select a repo and an upgrade path. Now it's gone again.
