[mythtv-users] Installation issue - Couldn't find package Synaptic

[John Williams]

Synaptic is in the testing branch at ATrpms. You probably are not and
don't want to be set up to run the testing branch. You can go to
atrpms and find the link ot the RPM and install using the whole path
rather than the name of the package. I did it yesterday.
