Peter thanks.
I did build mythtv from scratch and used ansible to satisfy dependancies. All good except mythlink does not run. I followed the wiki and installed the bits it said.
• Net::UPnP::QueryResponse
• Net::UPnP::ControlPoint

Still not working. I then tried to install the complained-missing ummm looks …
IO::Socket::INET6
which was the start of a huge hunt around.

Result is

[sandypit] /store [914]% ~/mythtv/mythtv/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl  --link /store/pretty --format '%T/%T%-%S'
Base class package "IO::Socket::INET6" is empty.
    (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first,
    or make that module available in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .).
