Thanks for the reply from both you and John.

I am using Mythbuntu so doing a build sounds over my pay grade.  I am
up to date (issued the commands you suggested to make sure) and still
have the May release without the fixes.

To complicate things, the problem I am fighting (can't watch KQED) is
not showing itself this morning so I don't presently have anything to
fix!

Thanks for your help.

Allen
