Googling your error message results in the following hit:
http://v2kblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/upgrading-mythbuntu-from-810-to-904.html
which suggests the following work-around. Could you back up the below
mentioned files and then try this solution?
This problem was caused by two cron jobs both trying to modify /etc/motd at the
same time (every 10 minutes)! The update-motd cron job moves /var/run/motd.new
out from underneath the mythtv-status job. You can see the two jobs in
/etc/cron.d:
# grep 10 /etc/cron.d/mythtv-status /etc/cron.d/update-motd
/etc/cron.d/mythtv-status:*/10 * * * * root [ -x /etc/init.d/mythtv-status ] &&
/etc/init.d/mythtv-status reload > /dev/null
/etc/cron.d/update-motd:*/10 * * * * root [ -x /usr/sbin/update-motd ] &&
/usr/sbin/update-motd 2>/dev/null
I believe what should really be happening is myth-status should be run
by update-motd every 10 minutes instead of independently. Here is what I
did to make that happen:
# rm /etc/cron.d/mythtv-status
# cd /etc/update-motd.d/
# ln -s /usr/bin/mythtv-status 50-mythtv-status
