<br><br>I found that the problem comes from /var/lib/dpkg/info/mythtv-common.postinst line 5 - ". /usr/share/debconf/confmodule". I traced confmodule and it gets to line 18 - "exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend $0 "$@" once it detects the frontend. After that is a little beyond me because I don't have experience with perl or debconf. Mythtv still works despite this, but I'd like to know what is wrong and to stop this error from appearing everytime I use aptitude.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Brandon<br><br><br><br>
