[Bug 219653] Re: "Video creation and editing suite" install fails with "aptitude failed (100)"

[Sencer HAMARAT]

Same issue with different selection in tasksel:

After installed minimal ubuntu server 32 12.04 I ran tasksel and select
"Basic Ubuntu Server, Mythbuntu Additional Roles,  Mythbuntu Frontend
and Mythbuntu Master Backend" packages to install. On installation
process tasksel exits with "aptitude failed (100)" error

I tried to continue to installation with "dpkg --configure -a" command and it exits with error below too:
dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 1244 package 'makedev':
 field name `Original-Maintainer>' must be followed by colon

I edited "/var/lib/dpkg/status" package and replaced ">" with ":". After
this correction I ran again "dpkg --configure -a" command. This time
installation ended without any error.
