I may be doing the next best thing soon and doing a dist upgrade (I'm
currently running 10.04 LTS), but since this is my main home server as
well wiping the disk and starting over isn't really an option.  I may
take a step back and just create a dedicated mythtv server.  I had
hoped to avoid that though.

Since mythtv relies on the QT libraries, it seems at least
peripherally related.  I've seen a few other posts regarding this
error, but there was no resolution there either.
