Looks like I'm missing the "apparmor" module, whatever that is.
wget http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/SqueezeCenter_v7.0.1/squeezecenter_7.0.1_all.deb dpkg -i squeezecenter_7.0.1_all.deb apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client flac sox apt-get -f install ...

Slimcenter 7.0 on Ubuntu 8.04 - apparmor issues
After struggling with 7.0.2 for a while I decided to go back to 6.5.2. I had the usual trouble with perl packages, but the only other problem was creating the database and mysql user.
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client mysql --user=root --password=xxxxxx use mysql; create user 'slimserver'@'localhost'; create database slimserver; grant all on slimserver.* to 'slimserver'@'localhost'; slimserver.pref: dbusername, dbsource [I tried setting a password on the database user but couldn't get it to work] ./slimserver.pl --d_mysql --prefsfile /u/rees/slimp3/slimserver.pref --playeraddr 10.0.1.155 --noupnp
Slimserver has been renamed Squeezecenter. It now depends on libgd. There is no package for this on OpenBSD. It won't build from source because the libgd configure assumes the wrong location for png.h.
Bin/build-perl-modules.pl Perl-Modules (fails) Bin/build-perl-modules.pl JSON::XS YAML::Syck perl -MCPAN -e shell install GD (fails; depends on libgd; why didn't build-perl-modules.pl tell me that?)
Fetch libgd source and fix it:
configure ed Makefile /libpng.libpng/s'/usr/local/include/libpng/libpng'/usr/local/include/libpng'p gmake install
Try GD again:
Bin/build-perl-modules.pl GD (thinks it worked, but it's wrong; try CPAN again) perl -MCPAN -e shell install GD
At this point perl is completely confused and I'm thinking about selling my Slimp3 and just using Apple products instead. Check out this cute error message:
./slimserver.pl --d_mysql --prefsfile /u/rees/slimp3/slimserver.pref --playeraddr 10.0.1.1 --noupnp The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with SqueezeCenter: XML::Parser (loaded 2.34, need 2.34) To fix this problem you have several options: 1. Install the latest version of the module(s) using CPAN: sudo cpan Some::Module 2. Update the module's package using apt-get, yum, etc. 3. Run the .tar.gz version of SqueezeCenter which includes all required CPAN modules.
You can bypass the annoying click-through license by going directly to the downloads directory.
I tried to just use packages this time. This turned out to be a mistake. Apparently with perl you just can't mix packages and non-package modules. The OpenBSD package system is too inflexible to use for installing perl modules. See below.
pkg_add mysql-client* mysql-server* ln -s mysqld_safe /usr/local/bin/mysqld /usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db edit Bin/build-perl-modules.pl (see below) Bin/build-perl-modules.pl /usr/local/bin/mysqld --defaults-file=/u/rees/slimp3/my.cnf ./slimserver.pl --d_mysql --prefsfile /u/rees/slimp3/slimserver.pref --playeraddr 10.0.1.2 --noupnp
Another possible fix for the missing mysqld (from Urs Breinlinger):

Got stuck here:

At this point I tried installing some p5 packages, and pkg_add had the audacity to tell me it couldn't install some files because they were already installed and had the correct md5, and that's a fatal error! So I gave up on packages and did this instead:
perl -MCPAN -e shell /u/root/cpan PREFIX=/usr/local EXPATLIBPATH=/usr/local/lib EXPATINCPATH=/usr/local/include UNINST=1 ftp://ftp.wayne.edu/cpan/ ftp://cpan.cse.msu.edu/ ftp://cpan.uchicago.edu/pub/CPAN/ install Flickr::Upload
Still can't get mysqld to not die. Turned out slim had some wrong config files:
% ./slimserver.pl --d_mysql --d_sql --prefsfile /u/rees/slimp3/slimserver.pref --playeraddr 10.0.1.1 --noupnp 2007-05-16 14:10:58.5837 MySQLHelper: createConfig() Creating config from file: [/u/rees/SlimServer_v6.5.1/MySQL/my.tt] -> [/u/rees/slimp3/my.cnf]. 2007-05-16 14:10:58.8231 MySQLHelper: startServer() About to start MySQL with command: [/usr/local/bin/mysqld --defaults-file=/u/rees/slimp3/my.cnf] Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /u/rees/slimp3/MySQL STOPPING server from pid file /u/rees/slimp3/slimserver-mysql.pid 070516 14:10:58 mysqld ended % grep error /u/rees/slimp3/my.cnf log-error = /u/rees/slimp3/mysql-error-log.txt % cat /u/rees/slimp3/mysql-error-log.txt 070515 16:34:51 mysqld started 070515 16:34:52 [ERROR] Error message file '/u/rees/SlimServer_v6.5.1/MySQL/errmsg.sys' had only 463 error messages, but it should contain at least 472 error messages.

Aha!
rm -f MySQL/errmsg.sys; cp /usr/local/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys MySQL
Now perl will often dump core for no reason but with some persistence it can be made to start. I start it in a "screen" window and leave it running.
This was a bit of a struggle. I started by installing the pre-requisites from packages. I got stuck on mysqld. There were conflicts due to some perl modules I had installed. At this point I would have been happy with a forced install that would either blow away the conflicting files or simply install mysqld without resolving the pre-requisites. But the pkg_add man page doesn't describe what the various -F options do, so I tried them all, and -i. Nothing worked. As far as I can tell, none of the options or environment variables listed on the man page do anything. So I just used tar to extract the files from the package. This mostly worked.
Now I needed to install the perl modules needed by slimserver. Again pkg_add failed me. I tried just fetching from cpan but quickly descended into dependency hell. So next I tried slimserver's build-perl-modules.pl. It failed with the useless message "There was a problem creating Makefile - exiting!" The Slim wiki provided the answer, some code to make the XML module look in /usr/local for the expat libs and includes.
Next problem:

This turned out to be a bad tag added by iTunes. Removing the tag fixed the problem.
Finally, I had trouble with many tunes showing up twice. This turned out to be iTunes again, this time putting the wrong path in some playlist files. I removed the offending playlists and everything was fine.
