He's saying your MythWeb directories likely have stuff in them that 
shouldn't be there--perhaps because it was there in 0.20 and was 
supposed to be (but couldn't be) removed (i.e. because you had modified 
it).  In other words, removing MythWeb, then removing all the 
directories (and contents) left after removal, then reinstalling may fix it.
