"ps auxw | grep mythbackend" returns ...

"sudo service mythbackend restart" returns ...
mythbackend: unrecognized service

"mythbackend -v" returns ...
mythbackend: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libva-x11.so.1: undefined 
symbol: fool_postp

"mythtv-setup" asks me if I want to run mythbackend. I click "Yes" and 
it returns ...
mythtv-backend start/running, process 17561
Then asks if I want to run mythfilldatabase.

After that, "ps auxw | grep mythbackend" still returns ..
damian   17584  0.0  0.0  12052   872 pts/1    S+   19:44   0:00 grep 
mythbackend

Any idea what I can try next?
