What version of MythTV?

I download the theme archive from here:

  http://themes.mythtv.org/themes/repository/trunk/themes.zip

Unzipping it and looking at the file trunk/Steppes/themeinfo.xml, it 
says its for Steppes version 34.2.  I'm assuming your system gets this
far, as it tells you there is a new version.  The themeinfo.xml file
lists the download url for this version of Steppes as:

  http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mythtv/themes/trunk/Steppes-34.2_trunk.zip

I can download that file.

I have noticed that the list of available themes isn't always
alphabetized.  For example, my test system is currently listing all of
the downloaded themes at the top, and then listing all the available
themes below that.  I see "Arclight 28.3" as the first item in the
list, and "Arclight 34.1" as the eighth item in the list.  Perhaps
Steppes 34.2 is near the bottom of your available themes list?
