I'm really glad to have resurrected my old login on the fortums and
found this thread. I spent an evening yesterday wondering why latest
"Testing" LMS package (7.4.1?) the package manager picked up from
debian.slimdevices.org was doing the "restart every 5 seconds" thing on
my newly-built machine using Jessie Testing.
Couple of points-

Apologies if i'm being dim, but how do I ensure I pick up exactly the
right build? A link to the download package or the right recipe for
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/* would be very helpful.
- As an observation, not everyone running a leading-edge build of a
Distro is necessarily a hardcore hacker who does builds from source in
their sleep. In my case i'm aiming to build a home server to replace
an elderly Synology NAS, and discovered I needed the Jessie build of
Debian to get support for my hardware chipset (Intel Haswell).
- Perl itself is a high level language that's some distance from the
low level hardware and OS details. It's a shame LMS is now caught up
in this nightmarish-sounding web of dependencies on precise versions
of sub-packages and libraries. Short term it's hard to see an easy way
out. Long term i can see a future where everything is shipped as a
complete container package with all its dependencies using something
like Docker. Ok, so your media centre will be a 500MB download that
includes every library it uses and half an OS, but at least it will
run out of the box :-}
