Im seeing this too:

Setting up mythweb (0.22.0~trunk21556-0ubuntu1) ...

ln: creating symbolic link `$datadir/music': No such file or directory

Looks like a missing directory:

# ls -l /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data/music
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-08-20 13:57 /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data/music -> /var/lib/mythtv/music

# ls -l /var/lib/mythtv/
total 12

Problem is in a variable $LINKS in script /var/lib/dpkg/info/mythweb.postinst. There is used variable $datadir and this is not expanded because is closed in '. After changes ' to " script works.

[Pavel Mlčoch (pavkamlc)]

Mantainer, please do this trivial repair.
