      I figured out a way to get lightsquid working on 2.2. This is not supported until someone fixes the pbi package. So please use at your own risk.

      Log into the console to run the below commands:

      create missing symbiotic links:

      
      amd64
      ln -s /usr/pbi/lightsquid-amd64/local/www/lightsquid /usr/local/www/lightsquid
      ln -s /usr/pbi/lightsquid-amd64/local/etc/lightsquid /usr/local/etc/lightsquid
      
      i386
      ln -s /usr/pbi/lightsquid-i386/local/www/lightsquid /usr/local/www/lightsquid
      ln -s /usr/pbi/lightsquid-i386/local/etc/lightsquid /usr/local/etc/lightsquid
      
      

      perl is out of wack, so I installed it manually. Probably a way to do it via symbiotic links but this is working for me
