Problems reinsalling MythTV 0.21

I just 'upgraded' my Mythbuntu system to 9.10. MythTV 0.22 did not
work out to well for me (very unstable) so have reverted back to 0.21.
I followed JYA's instructions for rolling back, however I am having a
problem with libmyth 0.21-0. When Synaptic tries to install libmyth I
get:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvdpau0_0.2-0ubuntu11_i386.deb: trying to
overwrite '/usr/lib/libvdpau_trace.so', which is also in package
nvidia-185-libvdpau 0

I seem to be stuck in dependency hell. The conflict seems to be
between JYA's libvdpau0 package and Ubunutu's vdpau-driver
installation. Trying to uninstall conflicting packages just seems to
lead me in circles. Can anyone offer advice?

That's because you have kept the default Ubuntu nvidia driver packages.

Before trying to install myth; *only* upgrade the nvidia drivers for
one of the one I ship (190.42 is the latest official release).

Once nvidia as been upgraded, then install my mythtv packages.

Don't try to uninstal, it will be all automatic.
My 0.21-packages will automatically install over the default
mythbuntu/ubuntu ones if you have activated the "release" repository
(do not activate "testing" or "debug".

So in synaptic, to summarise: select unmark all, reload, select nvidia
drivers from my repository, apply, then re-install mythtv 0.21

But it would probably better to find out why 0.22 isn't stable for you...

If you do want to stick to 0.21, make sure you lock that version,
because the minute 0.22 is official, I will be moving the 0.22
packages from testing into release.

Thanks Jean-Yves. I was doing as you state above, yet it kept coming up with conflicts with the myth-common package - seemed strange. In the end I had to uninstall Myth first and then the Ubunutu nvidia driver packages, and then reinstall from your repository. Myth worked OK, but I found many other apps kept hanging, so I reverted to my backup of 9.04. Will re-explore 9.10 at a later date.

Well, I guess I didn't read your email quite as closely as I should of! Would of saved 20 minutes of stuffing around. Thanks again Jean-Yves.

James - In what way is 0.22 very unstable for you? Been using 0.22 on
9.10 since the beta of 9.10 and for the most part it has been very
stable.

It would pause for 3-4 seconds randomly (UI not responding) at about 30 second intervals, and crash every 10 minutes or so. But I am not sure that Myth was the problem, the whole environment after the upgrade seemed flakey. This was an in-line upgrade, not a clean install of 9.10, so it may have not gone quite to plan. I will try a clean install of 9.10 and Myth 0.22 some time in the future, for now 9.04 and Myth 0.21 work great for me other than the LIveTV seeking bug.
