I got it working again. I was about to reinstall my complete system
until I figured out that the problem started after doing an "apt-get
upgrade" on my Debian testing machine, which updates all packages to
the latest (etch) testing release.
Some perl dbi package was upgraded and caused the problem.
I'm not a perl expert, so don't ask me why ;)
Anyway, I fixed it by pinpointing some packages to the stable release
instead of testing.
I did it this way:
- first make sure you have a line for Debian stable in your
/etc/apt/sources.list file, like this for example:
Code:
--------------------
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
--------------------
Then do an "apt-get update"
Create or edit the file "/etc/apt/preferences
and paste the following:
Code:
--------------------
Package: libclass-dbi-abstractsearch-perl libclass-dbi-pager-perl
libclass-dbi-perl libclass-dbi-plugin-perl libclass-dbi-plugin-retrieveall-perl
libdbi-perl libdbix-class-perl libdbix-contextualfetch-perl
libdbix-migration-perl libima-dbi-perl
Pin: release a=stable,c=main,o=Debian,l=Debian
Pin-Priority: 1001
--------------------
Be sure to enter all packages on 1 line.
When you now do an "apt-get upgrade" these packages will be
"downgraded" to their Debian stable release.
I don't know which package exactly caused the problem, I just included
all packages which have something to do with Perl and DBI.
To be sure, I restarted slimserver.
Now I have the following working again:
- rescan of complete library
- playlists
- coverart for newly scanned albums
The problem was clearly caused by Debian software, and not by
Slimserver itself, but since a lot of people are running Debian testing
I expect lots of users will have the same problem, at least when they
update packages.
Please leave some feedback if this helped for you.
