I never know whether I should start a new thread for a new problem, or
put it here... please let me know if you'd prefer a new thread Michael.

I seem to have messed up my Debian (unstable) server such that LMS will
not start properly:

2016-01-18 00:53:17 squeezeboxserver_safe started.
2016-01-18 00:53:22 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.
2016-01-18 00:53:27 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.
2016-01-18 00:53:32 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.
2016-01-18 00:53:37 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.

The errors are well-hidden, but I managed to reproduce from the cmdline,
and got:

getz $ /usr/sbin/squeezeboxserver
The following modules failed to load: DBI EV XML::Parser::Expat
HTML::Parser JSON::XS Digest::SHA1 YAML::XS Sub::Name


So, it would seem that I have managed to remove some perl packages, that
LMS needs?

I would have expected the LMS pkg to depend on what it needs, but it
doesn't seem to:

Depends: perl (>= 5.8.8), adduser, libc6

or ship what it wants with it. In which case re-installing the LMS pkg
would have helped, but it hasn't.

So perhaps there's something else going on?

any ideas how to troubleshoot this, please?

i don't quite get the perl-modules situation:

getz $ sudo apt-get install perl-modules

Note, selecting 'perl-modules-5.22' instead of 'perl-modules'
perl-modules-5.22 is already the newest version (5.22.1-4).
