Description Bit Twister 2014-08-02 04:37:56 CEST 
Description of problem:

mythtv home directory, /var/lib/mythtv, is not created on install.

mythtv-backend rpm pre-install script runs
  /usr/share/rpm-helper/add-user mythtv $1 mythtv /var/lib/mythtv /sbin/nologin
but add-user has -M option which suppresses /var/lib/mythtv creation.

Suggest adding workaround: commands to rpm pre-install section.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
