Thank you Peter.  Following your suggestion, I installed the packages from
the Xenial site and was able to resolve the dependencies so that
mythtv-common and mythweb would upgrade to the latest version from the
mythbuntu 0.28 repo.

Consequently, I had to also update the python-urllib3 package with the one
from the Xenial site using the same approach because the metadata grabber
scripts were still failing.  The newer urllib3 package is needed because
the version from Trusty is not compatible with the
urllib3.disable_warnings() call added to the latest 0.28 metadata scripts.

My system seems to be working without further issue now even though I
remain on 14.04.

Tim
