[mythtv] schema upgrade 1108 to 1123 fails

the DB schema upgrade fails. as far as I can tell it is trying to add
the "generic" column twice. I deleted it by hand, tried to start
mythbackend, then got the same error, but the column was replaced in
the table.

this is an upgrade from 0.18.1, using Atrpms packages. kernel is
2.6.15-1.1831_FC4, i386

I've been over this with the ATRPMS list, as well as gotten no  
replies from mythtv-users. Blayne Cook is also reporting the same error.

is it possible that it cannot go from schema version 1108 to 1123?
