I have a server running Squeeze. It has mythtv-backend to record

On my desktop I run Sid. After an update over the weekend, my
Mythtv Frontend will no longer connect to my backend, complaining
that
"This version of MythTV requires an updated database. (schema is 35
versions behind)
Please run mythtv-setup or mythbackend to update your database".
I suspect that I need to somehow update the backend. But with that
being Squeeze, that could be rather difficult.
Anyone got any suggestions of how to deal wth this.
[Mythweb will stream the TV. and that almost works, but I do tend to
want to save programs mid way through or want to rapidly skip
forward and backward. The media play that is launched by the
browser doesn't seem to all any of this.]
I confirmed with the debian-multimedia maintainer that the testing
version of MythTV would always be compatible with the stable version. I
am running a stable backend, and a testing frontend.
I don't think that the unstable version is necessarily compatible with
the stable version. In fact, I recall recently on the debian-multimedia
mailing list that there was a new version in unstable. So I suspect
what happened is that your frontend got updated, and it refused to
communicate with your stable backend, because the databases have
different schemas.
