MythTV in breezy is updated to 0.18.1 but the plugins aren't

[Jordy Potman]

The mythtv package in breezy is updated to version 0.18.1 but the myth plugins are still at version 0.17 as far as I can tell from packages.ubuntu.com and the buildlogs at http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/m/

I have tried to build the source package from http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian/dists/hoary/mythtv/source/ in a breezy pbuilder environment, but this fails with a build error in mythmusic:

The following patch fixes this problem for me:

With this patch the mythplugins source package builds without further problems. As far as I can tell from the mythplugins source code the changes in this patch can hardly do any harm. The only problem is that I also had a quick look at the mythplugins-0.18.1-112.rhfc4.at.src.rpm at http://atrpms.net/dist/fc4/mythplugins/ and they don't seem to need a similar patch to mythmusic, but this might be explained by different compiler or library versions or something like that.

I hope this helps to make it possible to update the mythplugins packages for breezy, because I am affraid that the current situation might cause some upgrade problems.

Sincerely,

A mythplugins package has recently been imported to breezy and the mythplugins-0.18.1-3 source package contains a (slightly different) fix for the build problem I describe above. According to the buildlogs the package builds fine now, so I guess this bug can be closed.

Uhh, weird, because I still can't install MythTV at all on AMD64. I get:

 Depends: libmyth-0.17 but it is not installable
 Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>=3:3.3.3) but it is not installable

Yeah there is still a build problem for the mythtv_0.18.1-5 source package on AMD64, IA64 and PowerPC (see the build log:

http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/m/mythtv/0.18.1-5/mythtv_0.18.1-5_20051109-1916-amd64-failed.gz

so I'm affraid my comment above is only true for i386.
