Yes I see the latest for 12.04 is mythtv-status-0.9.3. I assume your
error before updating was

nick at media:~$ mythtv-status
Sorry, failed to fetch http://localhost:6544/xml:
404 Not Found

I will email Thomas Mashos who manages the mythbuntu stuff and see if
I can get him to put an updated mythtv-status in the mythbuntu repos,
or something like that!
