I attempted to update from 0.27 to 0.28.  It did not go that well.  The 
update installation failed part way through and crashed software 
updater.  I re-ran software updater and it reported a broken package 
system and to run an apt command with the '-f' option.  This command 
installed the new mythbackend package.  I then re-ran software updater 
to complete the update.

Most things seem to be working, except meta data lookups all fail with 
exit status 128.  Any ideas?
