I'm trying to install mythtv for the first time. I'm not a redhat guy, but
to simply things I'm using these instructions:
http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/tiki-page.php?pageName=rh9pvr250
which I found in a letter in linux journal.
# apt-get install myth-suite
fails. I searched the list, and found that other people have had the same
problem.
I kept trying to install the sub packages that were failing, to get better
error messages, and the problem seems to be with lirc. There's a dependency
that tells apt that lirc is needed, but apt doesn't seem to know where to
get lirc.
I don't know much about redhat, or rpm, or how the system keeps dependencies
straight with rpm and apt on the same system. I saw a post from someone who
said he installed a lirc rpm, and it worked. If I follow suit, is it going
to mess me up?
