7 Well, they can always just ask the package manager what version is
8 installed. The news item is targeted only at users who do not already
9 have mythtv 0.22 installed, so only potentially impacted users will get
10 the announcement. The guide includes instructions for determining
11 whether a particular database has problems.
12
13 mythfrontend also has a --version option that returns some useful
14 information.

16 However, anybody getting the news item has a potential issue, and since
17 mythtv isn't compatible across client versions if their gentoo install
18 has a problem then all of their clients should need an upgrade.
