Problem installing mythtv-frontend


I recently upgraded my backend so I could use
schudeules direct for mythtv, but then I discoverd I
had to upgrade my frontend. I took the opportunity to
wipe my xbox and do a clean install of Xebian 1.1.4,
and then when I followed
http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/MythTV_on_Xebian_HOWTO
I tried to install the frontend, but I got the error
that follows. Can someone please help me?

Thank you

xebian:~# apt-get install mythtv-frontend

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean
that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using
the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet
been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is
extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report
against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the
situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mythtv-frontend: Depends: libjack0.80.0-0 (>=
0.99.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libmyth-0.20 but it is not
going to be installed
Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.4)
but it is not installable
Depends: libmyth-0.20 (=
0.20-xebian.4) but it is not going to be installed

If you're doing a clean install, could I recommend Xubuntu Feisty with the new MythTV? I just upgraded mine for the same reason and had no issues.

It sounds like you might be missing a repository. I know you're running a debian based install and I'm running and ubuntu based install, so don't use my exact apt source.list, but here's mine to compare with yours. Maybe you can find a missing repository and set it for the debian files for your release.
