Public bug reported: Problem: mythtv 0.27.4+fixes.20150423.8f14d3d-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 does not install to unmet dependencies. Mythtv is missing mysql-server 5.6 as a possible dependency. Below is the error message I get on install.
The following packages have unmet dependencies: mythtv : Depends: mysql-server but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Background: This mythtv package is from the mythubuntu team ppa : deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.27/ubuntu trusty main I am running an upgraded mysql-server: ii mysql-server-5.6 5.6.19-0ubuntu0.1 amd64 MySQL database server binaries and system database set My current solution to the problem: 1. I download the mythtv deb package 2. unpack the mythtv deb package 3. edit the file "control" and replace "mysql-server" with "mysql-server | mysql-server-5.6" 4. repack the package and install Request: Have mythtv package look for mysql-server or mysql-server-5.6 as a dependency Mysql-server-5.6 has been faster and more stable (no memory leakage) than 5.5 for me. ** Affects: mythtv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448449 Title: mythubuntu team has ppa mythtv 0.27 that fails to install with mysql- server-5.6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/1448449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
