12898	mythtv-frontend wont install	boec0025@…		"okay, so i have been using myth for years.  now i am running mythbuntu for about 4 years and it has worked great until apparently this weekend.  i did some myth updates and then got a message that some programs no longer used would be uninstalled.  i think that is where this happened.  

apprently i took off myth frontend and even worse is it will not re-install on mythbuntu 16.04.  i get the error that says it needs mythtv-common but that will not be installed.  well, of course it wont, it is already installed.  

so i decided to try removing the backend and then putting it all back on and myth-frontend will not install with whatever version of myth-common that is on there even though they have the same version number.  so i can get the backend on and running but the frontend will not install because of some issue with mythtv-common.
