Check your settings for repositories in /etc/apt and
/etc/apt/sources.list.d.  You may have an line in one of the .list
files that has a trusty repository and has not been commented out as
is should have been.  Mythbuntu Control Centre seems to have a problem
with finding all the old repository lines and can miss one.  I have
always found it best to manually check all the .list files after
changing MythTV versions and upgrading Ubuntu versions as I have often
found old repositories still enabled.  If you do find an old one still
enabled, comment it out then run "apt update" and "apt-get
dist-upgrade" or "apt full-upgrade" to fix any residual problems.
