Note it seems the PPA to use is *ppa:mythbuntu/0.29*
(I would have expected *ppa:mythbuntu/29 *but this only has an entry for 
Trusty (ubuntu 14.04))


What I have done in the past on ubuntu based systems is:


Backup the database manually  and copy it to somewhere safe  (this is 
just for safety)  see 
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.29
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

then reboot the machine

repeat for any slave backends and frontends
