Hmm well that log is less than useful. Was mysqld running when you tried?

[Vivian Stewart (vivichrist)]

 I think this actually had more to do with perhaps the last kernel upgrade seem to have two copies of the cx88 modules one in the linux-kernel-image and the other set in linux-ubuntu-modules, mythtv worked once and then nout ... the frontend backend and database keep crashing ... ?

I've had the same error. Repeatable every time I try to remove via Synaptic on 8.04 Ubuntu. I was going to try and set up a myth app and decided I wasn't ready for it yet. Everything removed okay except the myth TV database component.
I'm very new. Afraid I won't be much help but if you need me to do anything you can always send SPECIFIC instructions and I'll be glad to try.

Ubuntu 8.04 AMD 64

Same here, on i386. Is there a manual fix for this?

Is it still happening? If so, can you post the contents of your
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mythtv-database.postrm?

After doing so, try moving that out of it's current directory and try to remove
again.

This bug was fixed in the package mythtv - 0.21.0+fixes17416-0ubuntu1

---------------
mythtv (0.21.0+fixes17416-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New checkout of release-0-21-fixes branch.
  * debian/mythfrontend.sh:
    - check for /etc/mythtv/session-settings when sourcing it. (LP: #220681)
  * debian/mythtv-backend.postinst:
    - check for directories before overriding (LP: #223988)
  * drop debian/mythtv-database.postrm
    - Wasn't doing anything productive but causing crashes. (LP: #213200)
  * debian/control:
    - Adjust dependencies to only build depend on chrome for i386 and
      amd64. This should fix all other archs. (LP: #211125)
  * add debian/patches/17_pvr350_tvout_fix:
    - Fixes PVR-350 tv output's EPG. (LP: #236498)
      Thanks bal_zac for tracking this down.
  * update debian/patches/07_glx-procaddressARB-configure
    - Certain parts are absorbed upstream.

Sure, see the attachment.

After manually removing mythtv-database.postrm I could uninstall, thanks. Since the postrm script was not executed, are there any manual unistall tasks I should perform?

Well that postrm script wasn't doing anything fancy. you should be fine to just
let it be.
