I didn't check the removed packages list before hitting "Y"...

Thanks for reporting this! I checked, and the removal of fonts-tlwg-* is probably the culprit. MythTV has, weirdly enough, fonts-tlwg-purisa and fonts-tlwg-purisa-ttf as dependencies. Why on earth would that be? But it is what it is...

This is the first time that I've ever come across a situation where an Asian font is actually a dependency of an application.... I'll see what I can do about my how-to: either a clearer generic warning or even a specific warning about MythTV.

Regards, Pjotr.
