Going back to the old perl is nearly impossible now because of hundreds of dependancies.

Any help?

The information in this thread helped further when I had a similar problem.

Maybe it will help you.

It could also be that you'll just need to set the soft link

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim to /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.1/Slim

i.e. ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.1/Slim /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim

You tell me to build myself?

I thought logitech is delivering official debian packages for the official debian distribution?

What the hell are they doing?

The symlink wont work because the target dir doesnt exist here.

Any other clue, help?

Logitech???

Hi,

the paths I gave in the ln command might be slightly different on your Linux System.

I had a these problems my-self with the beta version of 7.6. Please remember that 7.6.2 is still beta.

Sorry, that the suggestions didn't help.

Yes, sadly.

If you prefer to keep your installed files under the control of apt, you can build your own .deb by following these steps:

They do, for released versions. Remember that Wheezy is still under development, and probably not due to be released for at least another year.
