The library mismatch problem comes from the fact that 18 of the 23 mythbuntu
weekly build packages updates, including libmyth (i.e. your so loved library
package), updated to the latest version in the repo, while 5 of them which
are listed in his apt-get output dump (mythtv-backend mythtv-backend-master
mythtv-common mythtv-database mythtv-transcode-utils) did not update causing
the library / backend mismatch and his problem.  The reason why these 5 did
not update is that the old mythtv-themes packages can not be updated and
mythtv-common now want to overwrite some of their files blocking it's
install.  This is a packaging problem on the mythbuntu guys part, not a
mythtv problem, but a problem none the less.
