package mythtv-common 0.23.0~trunk23594-0ubuntu0~mythbuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/mythtv/MXML_scpd.xml', which is also in package mythtv-backend 0:0.23.0~trunk23548-0ubuntu0~mythbuntu1

A reboot did not help.
I am also unable to run the front end.
This update has destroyed my mythTV setup.
Help!

I think I'm back in business.
I found that the backend was running, and I could access it through mythweb.
I found that the two scripts:
  mythfrontend.sh
  mythtv-setup.sh
were not marked as executable. Once marked as executable, I no longer got the "permission denied" error, and can run both applications.

I was able to launch the apps as root... From Command prompt, sudo nautilus, then from there I went to the /usr/bin folder and found the mythtv files and clicked them from there...

Since I saw this worked.. I checked the properties of the files and noticed they all said root for owner and root for group. I changed them all to my user access as owner and the group to mythtv.

That has seemed to fix the issue so far...

Having additional problems now... I cannot play any Video's, only recordings work......

I have also found that dialog_functions.sh was not marked as executable. I changed it to executable. Everything seems to work for me, including videos. Haven't tested everything yet, but so far so good.

dialog_functions.sh was also not executable on my system. I don't use mythTV for anything but time shifting, so I don't know if this was causing trouble.

Another update today, and those three files lost their executable bit again.

Thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu by opening this ticket. I am marking this ticket as confirmed because it appears to have enough information to help the developers understand the problem. It is possible I am wrong and another more experienced triager or developer may adjust the status of the ticket to "incomplete" and request additional information.

This bug was fixed in the package mythtv - 0.23.0~trunk23623-0ubuntu1
