  • Mthtv-backend fails after upgrade in Debian Bullyseye

    My mythtv settings are not saved or being read after upgrading mythtv-common. My mythtv server is Linux server 5.3.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.3.15-1 (2019-12-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux. All commands are done through the terminal. Last update is 2020-0106.

    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

    # systemctl restart mythtv-backend

    # systemctl status mythtv-backend

    The following line shows success.
