Now I could be wrong because I'm a novice at this, but it appears to me
as though there is a problem with the amd64 package.  In
http://debian.slimdevices.com/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/ the
Packages file references libyaml-syck-perl but dictates the i386
architecture.  So apt-get install slimserver doesn't work for me
because it can't install libyaml-syck-perl.

I'm sure I could have found a way to force an install of the i386
version, but instead I found a amd64 version of this package.  I then
had to install a few other dependencies before I could install the
libyaml-syck-perl package, and then finally install slimserver.

Would it work if the Packages file referenced an amd64 version of the
libyaml-syck-perl package instead?  I spent several hours trying
different methods to get my install to work (download tarball etc), but
it was only when I figured this route out that things started to click
for me.

Cheers
