Right, you have an existing mythtv group. You could change the name of that group in /etc/group from mythtv to mythtv-old, then install mythtv packages again, then run a find over your whole filesystem to convert mythtv-old files to mythtv. You could also file a bug report with the people who run deb-multimedia.org. -dsr- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
