The box doesn't have room for more than the one disk, so that 320 GB 
drive is all there is.

I'm inclined to agree, which is why I have the machine scheduled to go 
visit the hardware gurus.

I did do an update last week. I had skipped doing upgrades for a couple 
of months, so there were 70 something to go through. The only thing that 
changed after that was the frequency of the error messages I was getting 
related to tmdb3.py not installed. That went from almost daily to more 
like weekly. Someone recommended that I look in /var/crash. There I find 
a file, _usr_share_mythtv_metadata_Movie_tmdb3.py.116.crash which 
contains the following message:

This problem report applies to a program which is not installed any 
more. (/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/tmdb3.py

When I look in /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie I find the file tmdb3.py.

ls -l reports:

ThinkCentre-M58p:/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie$ ls -l
total 12
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11409 Nov  6 00:56 tmdb3.py
