Hmmm, I just updated the OS (ie. do-release-upgrade), did a did a full
clean rebuild of mythtv (ie. make distclean; configure etc etc) and
it all kept working.

I've also done the same with my fedora installs. f20->f21->f22 using

But then I never use the distro packaged versions since I work on the
