I've been having Mythtv problems for the last two or three days, and

2

everything I've tried to fix it has only made things worse.  To start, a

3

little info:

4

5

camille ~ # emerge -pv mythtv

6

7

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

9

Calculating dependencies... done!

[ebuild   R    ] media-tv/mythtv-0.23.1_p27077  USE="alsa css dbus dvb

Mythtv has worked on camille since I first installed it in 2005.  Mythtv

18

worked the last time I started it (Oct 12), but I restarted it on the

19

24th and it didn't.  When I start mythfrontend, the list of Upcoming

20

Recordings is empty, when I go to Programme Finder it's empty, as is

21

Program Guide.  Previously Recorded works fine, as are Current

22

recordings but Watch TV doesn't - it says Please wait... for a long time

23

and then drops me back at the menu screen.  Of course by this time

24

mythfrontend is usually griping about not being connected to the

25

backend.  I ran mythbackend at the terminal prompt to find out why.

26

Here's what it said:

Segmentation fault

144

145

146

At first I thought that sometime that installed since Oct 12 was causing

147

the segfault, so I tried unmerging the 350+ packages that had installed

148

since then and listing them in package.mask, but that blew up in my face

149

because I don't know a command that forces portage to ignore masked

150

packages and install next-highest stable versions.  Please help me!

146	At first I thought that sometime that installed since Oct 12 was causing
147	the segfault, so I tried unmerging the 350+ packages that had installed
148	since then and listing them in package.mask, but that blew up in my face
149	because I don't know a command that forces portage to ignore masked
150	packages and install next-highest stable versions. Please help me!
