Harry's fixed worked for me also. And for the people out there (like me) who have trouble deciphering code.
1.Find the mythexport.postinst file (for me it was at /var/lib/dpkg/info (unbuntu 14.10)) 2. remove the line with the -- (as you will see the -- is not actually there) 3. add the line with the ++ in it's place (please leave the ++ off) 4. save and exit 5. apt-get install mythexport 6. done (note: I had already manually created the .mythtv directory in the /var/www/ directory) Hope this helps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to mythexport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079972 Title: package mythexport 2.2.4-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Status in mythexport package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Occurs when trying to install mythexport.
