 This was submitted to the mythbuntu bug tracker at
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/1051872.
 This should be a very recent build (9/17, git snapshot 0a56d7f)

 Details below:

 version is 2:0.26.0~master.20120917.0a56d7f-0ubuntu0mythbuntu2

 For the last week or so, I've realized that I cannot download metadata. I
 debugged further and the mythtv python libraries are throwing an
 IndexError. The full error is

 {{{

     if dt < self._transitions[index].local[0:5]:

 }}}

 I'm not sure how to fix this. I've removed all the python scripts and
 reinstalled. no change. i've diffed the python scripts (dataheap.py and
 dt.py) with the mythth git version. They are identical.

 I've added the timezone data to mysql and verified that it works by
 logging into mysql and doing something like

 SELECT CONVERT_TZ('2012-06-07 12:00:00', 'GMT', 'America/New_York');

 the correct response (shown below) is returned

 {{{
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 | CONVERT_TZ('2012-06-07 12:00:00', 'GMT', 'America/New_York') |
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 | 2012-06-07 08:00:00 |
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 }}}

 What can I do to fix this?

 my mythtv box is running the latest precise packages.

 It might be a mythbuntu and/or ubuntu precise issue as nobody is reporting
 this error (which affects every python script) on the mythtv mailing lists
 and bug repository.

 Thanks,

 Raj
