[mythtv-users] errors after dist-upgrade

[Cory Megitt]

What flavour are you using?

For me on Fedora Core 1, I had to install YUM (the most recent from Redhat's
site).
After that, I had to do an rpm -e yum to remove it.
Then I installed the atrpms kickstart.

At this point APT-GET worked.

I'm not sure why I had to install YUM then remove it ... It was weird.

Are you running those commands as root? I've seen errors like that when I
forget and run apt-get as a regular user.
