When I had this same problem, it was on a system where the installation
had failed to override an old "mythfrontend". So, I had copied myth*
from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin , which was higher up in the path tree..
When I reinstalled myth, it of course reinstalled to the /usr/local/bin
directory. This meant that the .xml's were updated (with the size:small
tag), but the binary wasn't.

So, try finding out where your mythfrontend binary is. Another way to
check to see if this is the problem is to execute mythfrontend where you
know it will be: namely, /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend and see if that
solves it..

Just that simple..

good luck : )
