Bug Description
To reproduce:
1. Install brand new Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) i386 system.
2. Install mythtv-backend, do not install mythtv-frontend.
3. Try to configure backend with mythtv-setup. It will ask for what language you want, but not list any options.
4. Push enter to continue, mythtv-setup.real will segfault. Or push cancel, it the setup will continue regardless.
5. Install mythtv-frontend. Repeat. mythtv-setup.real will populate the language list and work as designed.
I don't think it should be a requirement that the frontend should be installed just to configure the backend.
Unfortunately, not sure how to get this dialog to reappear now that I have it configured, so not sure how to reproduce.

This sounds like a situation that there is some library or file in the mythtv-frontend package that needs to be in mythtv-common instead. Certainly has happened before. Will just need to track down what that is.
