On both a myth frontend only system and a be/fe system I ran into
problems while upgrading from myth 0.26.0-dmo6 to 0.26.0-dmo9.
I think the problem is that the conflict in ownerership of one file
leaves mythtv-common unconfigured (in aptitude's opinion) and then that
messes up the packages depending on it.
In both cases, repeating the instruction to upgrade resulted in
successful, or at least error-free, installation.
aptitude shows
