i suspect that your CPU does not support some of the required flags for mythtv on ubuntu.

can you please post the output of:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Since asked information wasn't posted closing bug. If this happens to anyone else, please reopen with the asked for information.

I had the same error when i upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10

@Jesus:

Can you please file a separate bug? The postinst scripts have changed a lot, so you likely have similar output, but different circumstances that caused it.

Two more reports of this, so I'm re-opening, barely.

Everyone with this problem, please report back the output of the following command executed from a terminal (shell) window:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Two people edited same bug at same time. Please open a new bug with new logs attached. Thank you!
