The Debian package builds (.debs) have recently been updated to declare
some additional dependencies on external packages.
This may cause some initial difficulty for those users who use -dpkg- to
install LMS. Users who use -apt-get-, or a similar package manager,
should experience no issues, as the package manager should automatically
fetch and install the dependencies.
However, dpkg will not complete the installation if any of the required
packages are not already installed on the system. See below for a trace
of a failed installation and a suggested resolution.
The additional package dependencies are:
libgomp1
libio-socket-ssl-perl (a.k.a. IO::Socket::SSL)
libgcc1
libstc++6
zlib1g
-libgomp1- is required to support the bundled Sox binary, which may be
used in some transcoding schemes. Hitherto, Sox would simply fail if
libgomp1 is not present, and the failure is hard to diagnose. This
should now be resolved.
-IO::Socket::SSL- is required to support HTTPS streaming. An increasing
number of streaming services are moving to HTTPS, so having that support
automatically installed should offer a better user experience.
The other packages are required by a variety of supporting LMS modules.
They are present on almost all systems anyway.
DPKG ISSUE
Refer below for a trace of an initially unsuccessful install on a
Raspberry Pi, which did not have libgomp1 installed.
__Suggested_resolution:_
One solution is to use apt-get to fetch the dependencies and complete
the failed installation for us. Here is a sequence of commands that
might be used:
Code:
--------------------
# Try to install LMS
sudo dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.1~1518978430_arm.deb
# If it should fail due to missing packages, then:
# a) Ensure the list of available packages is up to date
sudo apt-get update
# b) Ask apt-get to fix things for us. This should install the
# missing packages, and complete the installation of LMS
sudo apt-get -f install
