but this only has an entry for Trusty (ubuntu 14.04))<br>

What I have done in the past on ubuntu based systems is:<br>
<br>
<br>
Backup the database manually and copy it to somewhere safe (this
is just for safety) see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore</a><br>
<br>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.29<br>
sudo apt update<br>
sudo apt dist-upgrade<br>
<br>
then reboot the machine<br>
<br>
repeat for any slave backends and frontends <br>
