Comment:

 The error "Duplicate column name 'default_authority'" would be impossible
 to get with an upgrade of a "clean" database--meaning something added that
 column to your schema before you ran mythtv-setup this time.

 Since you're upgrading from schema version 1230 to 1242, where 1231--the
 one that adds the default_authority column--fails, one possible reason for
 this could be that you tried to upgrade, got a failure, then re-ran
 mythtv-setup to capture logs for uploading.  If so, this failure is due to
 the fact that your database was in an "intermediate" state after the first
 (real) failure, having only completed some of the changes in the 1231
 upgrade.  Without logs showing the first/real failure, we can't track down
 the cause of that failure.

 Another possibility is that some patch you may have applied to your local
 copy of MythTV may have added it and you didn't "clean up" your schema
 before the upgrade.

 If you can get logs of the first real failure, please upload them and add
 a comment to the ticket.  You may restore a backup of your 0.21-fixes
 database ( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore ).  If
 you did not manually backup your database before upgrading, you may have
 gotten an automatic backup--check the directories in your DB Backups
 storage group or, if you haven't defined a DB Backups SG, check the
 directories in your Default storage group.
