xmltv is the latest 0.5.70. and compiled via their recommended method: perl makefile.pl, make, make test, make install.
perl is v5.16.3
Mythweb is claiming the last sucessful mythfilldatabase run was 3rd jan, so looks like it failed between then and the next run on the 4th.
yum log shows these changes on the 4th, between the daily runs of mythfilldatabase:  https://pastebin.com/MJLau7cQ
