After updating to 6.1.0.42176 I noticed that mediaserver was not starting due to a missing dependency on libdrm2. I noticed that the .deb control file lists libdrm2 as “Recommends” and not as “Depends”. Because of this minimum environments and Docker installs fail. 

Here is a section of the .deb control file; libdrm should be under “Depends” instead of “Recommends” for the Linux server installation file.

Package: networkoptix-mediaserver
Version: 6.1.0.42176
Installed-Size: 530224
Architecture: amd64

  Hi Marcel van Bergen,

  We are aware of this missing dependency, and it will be resolved in an upcoming patch. 

  For now, it could be resolved with: 

  sudo apt install -f

  or the specific dependency with: 

  sudo apt install libdrm2

  With kind regards.
