You don't have the fix since it was committed in 23562. Your version
22549 is really old and you should definitely upgrade. I would imagine
that the mythbuntu auto-builds would be much more current than what
you have. It sounds like you may not have auto-builds setup correctly.
Maybe someone on the list can help.
