I decided to try using the debian package to install slimserver.  Three
dependencies come up, all of which have numerous other dependencies,
all of which are files in the unstable release of debian linux.  Even
the PERL version required to support the dependencies is an unstable
version (according to the debian web site).  Here's the poop that apt
(?) reports when I try to install:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
slimserver: Depends: libclass-virtual-perl but it is not installable
Depends: libtext-unidecode-perl but it is not
installable
Depends: libyaml-syck-perl (>= 0.41-1) but it is not
going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Two of those packages have dependencies, and one has multiple levels of
dependencies that make gathering and installing all the files a painful
experience.

Maybe I'll go back to using the tarball!  Everything seemed to be
working OK, and it was real easy to set up...
