So to give the next person who may run into this what I did to fix the 
issue.

First, find the 0.26 version of mythweb.  I grabbed it from a dropbox 
location provided by someone in a previous email to the list.  Sorry but 
I dont recall the original poster. I found it after some google-fu.

remove mythweb but not any dependencies.   for me that was rpm -e 
--nodeps mythweb iirc
install the above file.
When you go to the mythweb website you will get an error about the db 
version being newer.  I dont recall the exact error but -MY- fix, which 
is of the brute force method was to edit the file in question and tell 
it to expect the newer version (4)

vi /var/www/html/mythweb/includes/db_update.php
define('WebDBSchemaVer', 4);

Not elegant in any stretch and it could be breaking all kinds of other 
stuff behind the scenes but I have a now working system. Without a 
frontend I rely on mythweb to do my scheduling so it was worth the risk

My plan is once 0.27 is out and built in Axels repo to upgrade to that.

looking forward to 0.27 as I'm hearing its awesome.  May even try a 
frontend if I can find a machine to install onto.
