Note it seems the PPA to use is *ppa:mythbuntu/0.29*
(I would have expected *ppa:mythbuntu/29 *but this only has an entry for
Trusty (ubuntu 14.04))
What I have done in the past on ubuntu based systems is:
Backup the database manually and copy it to somewhere safe (this is
just for safety) see
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.29
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
then reboot the machine
repeat for any slave backends and frontends
