I tried those things you mentioned, unfortunately it didn't get me
anywhere.
apt-get -f install went through and tried to reconfigure everything again
but produced the same error.
dpkg-reconfigure mythtv reports "mythtv is broken or not fully installed",
and also does that for all mythtv packages.
I am using the debian-multimedia repo, and I have everything up-to-date
according to that repo and the testing repo. It is not a critical issue
unless it doesn't solve itself when new mythtv packages are released on the
multimedia repo. If anyone else has more suggestions, I'll be happy to
continue figuring this out, though.
Thanks,
Brandon
