Bug Description
Binary package hint: mythtv
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
mythtv-common:
Installed: 0.23.0+
Candidate: 0.23.0+
Version table:
*** 0.23.0+

Clean install of Lucid (regular, not Mythbuntu), installing only mythtv-frontend gave me:
/tmp/mythtv-
mythtv-common failed to preconfigure, with exit status 127
And this is true, pwgen was not installed. But it *is* a dependency and it *was* pulled into the install and it is *now* installed (after the install finished). So there is a dependency order problem, and maybe this bug belongs to aptitude, and not mythtv-common...
Easy enough to work-around:
1) Before you install and hit this problem:
$ sudo aptitude install pwgen
$ sudo aptitude install mythtv-frontend
2) After you have tried to install, and have hit this problem:
$ sudo aptitude install pwgen
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common

Ditto, same problem. Copy/paste of aptitude's terminal output is attached, including the pwgen error.
