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
I ran into the bug today when I did apt-get dist-upgrade on my mythbuntu
14.04 system. The fix of post #14 worked for me to install mythexport.

It didn't work for me.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2239731
I have tried re-installing Mythbuntu 0.27 from scratch and the bug remains.
I've even tried installing Mythbuntu 0.28 and the bug is still present.
I've tried installing MythTV on Ubuntu 15.4 and the bug remains.

Bug with fix is here:
Note mythexport/dir in debconf's config.dat is empty.
mythexport.postinst:

. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
db_get mythexport/dir
dir="$RET"
-- if [ -n $dir ]; then
++ if [ "x$dir" != "x" ]; then
mkdir -p $dir
Any logical solution to the mythexport dilemma.

Thanks for that.
Running sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythexport, I get mythexport is broken or
not fully installed.
In desperation, I did a clean install of ubuntu 15.04 and mythtv on a
different drive, rather than using mythbuntu as I had originally.
I still get the same issue with mythexport
If you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythexport and provide a real path it
should work. It should be defaulting to a good path if junk is
provided, not sure why that doesn't work sometimes.

Is there a workaround for this?

I'm getting the same thing and (I think) I've managed to track it down a
little further.
I've got the same 'mkdir' issue...
This is Mythbuntu 14.04...
cat /etc/lsb-release
gives us
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
I have the same issue on a clean install of Mythbuntu.
Following the instructions in comment #7, It resolves the mkdir error
and sudo apt-get upgrade completes.
However starting the Mythbuntu control centre, mythexport fails and we
are back to the beginning again.

I pinged the dev on this. How did you try to install this. Were you
using software center, apt, or something else?
