apt-get & reinstalling

Hi all,

A real quick one here - I started getting some unresolved symbol errors
for no reason whatsoever, so decided on a re-install of myth (what with
the latest update anyway). I'd assumed :-

apt-get --reinstall install mythtv-suite

...would do the job, but it simply doesn't. No files created whatsoever.
eg :-

[root [at] serve ~]# mythbackend
mythbackend: error while loading shared libraries: libmythtv-0.17.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is FC3 mickey mouse stuff - what am I doing wrong/forgetting?!?!

Cheers,

You're asking apt to merely reinstall the mythtv-suite package. It won't
reinstall all its dependencies also. The mythtv-suite package is merely a
wrapper, so reinstalling it will not help resolve the matter. You'll need to
do something along the lines of:

# apt-get --reinstall install libmyth mythbackend

Rinse and repeat for any other components you think may be suspect.
