Binary package hint: mythplugins
When /var/lib/mythtv is mounted over NFS, the following MythTV plug-in packages will fail to configure: mythgallery, mythmusic, mythvideo. These packages attempt to change ownership/permissions on subdirectories of /var/lib/mythtv, which is not allowed with a typical server-side configuration. The failures will occur even if the permissions are already set correctly on these directories, and even if completely different directories are configured in the database settings.
Setting up mythgallery (0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1) ...
chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/mythtv/pictures': Operation not permitted
dpkg: error processing mythgallery (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up mythvideo (0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1) ...
chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/mythtv/videos': Operation not permitted
dpkg: error processing mythvideo (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up mythmusic (0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1) ...
chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/mythtv/music': Operation not permitted
dpkg: error processing mythmusic (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
A possible workaround is to temporarily unmount the NFS, then completely reinstall all three packages. Note that simply retrying the configure after unmounting does not work, since those directories would not have been created.
There are a few possible ways to fix this issue, which might warrant some discussion. |

This issue is likely to occur for those who use NFS when upgrading from version 0.20 to 0.21 in gutsy-backports or hardy. A possible workaround is to temporarily unmount the NFS, then completely reinstall all three packages. Note that simply retrying the configure after unmounting does not necessarily work, since those directories would not have been created during package install (empty mount point directory eclipsed by NFS mount). |
