Restoring from 9.10 to 10.10 gives traceback

I've taken a look at the file you uploaded. The SQL file doesn't contain anything (it's only 803 bytes). I've imported it into mysql and it doesn't contain a single thing. I'm marking this bug as invalid unless you can provide an SQL backup that if valid and reproduces the error.

Thomas,
I'm submitting this backup as requested in the Mythbuntu forum. It's a backup of a freshly installed mythbuntu maverick box with updates and myth and mythbuntu autobuilds applied up to 12/5/10. I tried to restore this to the same installation from which I backed it up and received the exact error as described by the bug reporter.

@chuck

What version of mythbuntu-common do you have installed?

dpkg -l mythbuntu-common

Hi Thomas,

I have since backed up ny hand & rebuilt from the ground up and - the sql imported from cl no problem, I'm back up and running so I'm happy -  was a worry that the backup routine failed though - I'm really sorry as I don't remember any of the specific build numbers....:-(

  Restoring from 9.10 to 10.10 gives traceback

Bug description:
  Hi,

I'm trying to restore my 9.10 setup in 10.10.  I created a restore file in 9.10 using the following structure:

root@mythtv:~# tar -ztvf /tmp/backup/mythbuntu-system-backup-20101016-2029.tar.gz
-rw-rw---- mythtv/mythtv   329 2009-12-31 15:03 etc/mythtv/config.xml
-rw-rw---- mythtv/mythtv  1124 2009-12-31 15:03 etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
-rw-r--r-- root/root       422 2009-10-31 14:34 etc/lirc/lircd.conf
-rw-r--r-- root/root      1071 2009-10-31 14:34 etc/lirc/hardware.conf
-rw-r--r-- root/root         7 2009-10-31 14:28 etc/hostname
-rw-r--r-- root/root       252 2009-10-31 14:28 etc/hosts
-rw-r--r-- hertz/hertz     803 2010-10-16 20:37 tmp/mythbuntu-bare/mythconverg-1244-20101016203750.sql

The .sql file was from 9.10 but made with the /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl script from 10.10.

When I try to restore the .tar.gz that I made with the Mythbuntu Control Center I get a traceback on restore:

--start--
Window Title = DBus Exception

org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.RuntimeError

Traceback (most recent call last):
