Thanks for the flame. Obviously your web capabilites are far superior
to mine. Gotta work on those people skills though. I've just gone
through the past 3 months of mythtv-users archives and mythtv-dev
archives and I still haven't found an entry for the solution you
suggested. Google didn't turn up anything either. BTW, I did search
through these over the weekend in frustration and didn't find anything
then either.

Found lots of stuff on apt-get install or apt-get dist-upgrade killing
stuff and upgrading from FC2. But nothing on apt-get update screwing
up.

After visiting http://ayo.freshrpms.net, the mirrors listing at the
bottom of the page lists the us mirror as ayo.us5.freshrpms.net. Your
solution did not imply what appears to be the correct address. I'll
try this tonight.
