I am having to reconfigure mythtv-common and mythtv-backend after every upgrade. The steps to reconfigure the packages are listed below.

Reconfiguring mythtv-common

# dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-common

Reconfiguring mythtv-database

# dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database

restart the mythtv-backend and check that it is running
