[mythtv-users] today's mythtv update for v31 failed

[James Abernathy]

I think this failure is mine alone but it seems to fail because of an
override.conf file I have in the mythtv-backend.service.  It worked until
this update this morning.

I don't see this reason for the error:
jim at kubuntu-closet:/etc/systemd/system/mythtv-backend.service.d$ sudo
systemctl cat mythtv-backend.service
# /lib/systemd/system/mythtv-backend.service
[Unit]
Description=MythTV Backend
Documentation=https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythbackend
After=mysql.service network.target

[Service]
User=mythtv
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/mythtv/additional.args
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mythbackend --quiet --syslog local7 $ADDITIONAL_ARGS
StartLimitBurst=10
StartLimitInterval=10m
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

# /etc/systemd/system/mythtv-backend.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/local/bin/hdhomerun_check.py

I think the error with the upgrade is during the post processing. when it
tried to restart mythtv-backend.service. Here's the output from the restart
failure.

I'll temporarily remove the override for now.

Any ideas?
