I did end up grabbing the current one from the wiki.
The --drop-database --create-database (or whatever they were) switches
didn't work for me so I used the mc.sql to create the empty DB.
It was cool watching myth go through a half dozen versions as it updated
the DB. Cool that it actually worked from 0.21 to 0.23.
I did check the DB on 0.21 before I backed it up yet 0.23 said it was
still corrupted. I was able to repair the archive using instructions
from the wiki.
btw, thank you to all that contribute to those wiki pages. Following
them, I was able to get the DB migrated and updated.
