I found "libparse-recdescent-perl" is a dependency package of xmltv-util 0.5.57-3, so I needed to install the version from Lucid before I could complete the manual install of the xmltv packages from Maverick. Any one else reading this bug report may be looking for a copy-n-paste solution that works in Lucid without needing to add any package repo:
apt-get install libparse-recdescent-perl wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49048115/xmltv_0.5.57-3_all.deb wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49048118/xmltv-gui_0.5.57-3_all.deb wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49048117/xmltv-util_0.5.57-3_all.deb wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49048116/libxmltv-perl_0.5.57-3_all.deb dpkg --install ./libxmltv-perl_0.5.57-3_all.deb ./xmltv-util_0.5.57-3_all.deb ./xmltv-gui_0.5.57-3_all.deb ./xmltv_0.5.57-3_all.deb tv_grab_uk_rt --configure tv_grab_uk_rt --config-file "~/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf" Note the links above to newer versions of XML TV packages in Maverick will get deprecated with the next package release, so until this version is available in Lucid, you *should* go use the newest links to Binary Packages from: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/xmltv -- [lucid] latest version of Date::Manip breaks tv_grab_uk_rt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544522 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to Mythbuntu.
