[mythtv-users] Problems with upgrading FC1 --> FC3, need help manually restoring Myth to a differentversion (.16 --> .18)

[adem0rdna]

if you did an apt install of .18 backend and then did an apt remove of
backend, apt should have resolved those dependencies then google to
find the .16 rpm for backend restore your database and install myth
suite .18 I think that should work and would be easiest to resolve the
dependencies
