I can confirm that upgrading perl doesn't seem to break anything on my machine (x86_64), and I'll comment again if I find anything broken.
For what it's worth, I never uninstalled this package: I edited the LMS PKGBUILD, built+installed it, then upgraded perl... and then rebuilt+installed LMS again just in case.
With LMS installed, perl will not upgrade to the latest (version 5.28), because LMS requires version 5.26.
I worked around this by doing the following:
It seems to work fine.
Thanks, oalexander & stef.an.
Yesterday I could install perl-net-upnp ignoring the architecture (makepkg -Acsi). Then I could install logitechmediaserver.
I just tested running the server and it works !
I had to follow thomassh's advice and install polkit (pacman -S polkit).
It looks like perl-net-upnp has been removed from the official repos and the aur package doesn't have the arm flag. Currently you can either manually install perl-net-upnp by adding arch=armv7h or remove the dependency from this package if you don't use upnp. I'll try to find a solution apsap.
I believe that perl-net-upnp is in AUR as well. You will have to install it first before logitechmediaserver
Did someone installed this package on ARM ? While trying to install the perl-net-upnp package (dependency) I get the error:
$ makepkg -si ==> ERROR: perl-net-upnp is not available for the 'armv7h' architecture.
==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...
Is there any way to solve this ?
My hardware is a Wandboard Quad.
I just decided to update the rather old arch installation on my media server, which I rarely dare doing as updating e.g. LMS usually isn't completely painless and this time is no exception, however it wasn't too bad :-)
So just to let you know, it sems that you are lacking a dependency on "polkit" and maybe the "json-c" version. The detailed story goes like this:
After upgrading to LMS 7.9.1, which also turned out to depend on an AUR build of perl-net-upnp) it failed to start due to an error "bla. bla. freedesktop bla. bla. Polkit1" - unfortunately the exact error message has left my console history. However, after some googling I decided to do a "pacman -S polkit" and that did the trick.
Alas, I was not there yet. The logitechmediaserver service now failed to start due to the error:
slimserver.pl[458]: The following modules failed to load: EV JSON::XS
Frustrating at first, as I thought that my system was completely up to date at this point, however that turned out not to be true, so "pacman -Syu" made everything work like a charm. I think that this indicates that you also are missing a dependency on a "JSON thingy" in the package - it may be "json-c" version but I'm not completely sure.
