Jim,


i would hold off going to ppa:mythbuntu/31 at present, there are still 
changes going into mythtv git master (from which 31 is being built at 
present).

I have just had a look at the latest build log on launchpad for Ubuntu 
18.04 Bionic

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/462266159/buildlog_ubuntu-bionic-amd64.mythtv_2%3A31.0~master.202001261406.fc09cbe~ubuntu18.04.1_BUILDING.txt.gz

Mythnetvision is not building:

#mythplugins
cd mythplugins && ./configure --prefix=/usr --zm-version=1.22.3 
--qmake=/usr/bin/qmake 
--mythroot=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp:/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/libmyth-python
minizip required to compile mythgame
MythNetvision requires the MythTV Python bindings (MythTV)
MythNetvision requires the Python pycurl library (pycurl)
MythNetvision requires the Python URL library 2 (urllib2)
Disabling MythNetvision due to missing dependencies.

Not particularly concerned about mythnetvision (I don't use it), it is 
the line:

MythNetvision requires the MythTV Python bindings (MythTV)

that troubles me as it could be Python bindings are not being 
built/installed, I could be wrong but I would not risk the upgrade on a 
production system at this time.
