debian multimedia screw-up

I've been building my own versions from source. This time I tried to
install .debs from debian-multimedia.org

I am getting these errors, and I can't figure out how. When I first
installed these, I got some messages that a part of the configuration
has to be done as a member of the group 'mythtv'. Silly me, I figured I
could always find that in an FAQ somewhere. No joy. Now I have a
broken myth install, and I can't figure out how to fix it... Anyone out
there using debian-multimedia?

mythtv-common's postinst script is failing. You can find this script
at/var/lib/dpkg/info/mythtv-common.postinst . It's doing things like
make sure the MythTV user is set up properly. You might take a look and
see if you can figure out what's going wrong.
