Why go to 0.26? I can understand not going to 0.28, but 0.26 has been
out of support for more then 20 months.
Second how about clearing your themes directory?? You can always
download them at need. `sudo rm -r /usr/share/mythtv/themes/`

If you do not jet want to delete it, go for:
`sudo mv /usr/share/mythtv/themes /usr/share/mythtv/themes.bak`
