[Dxspider-support] Upgrading Ubuntu killed DXspider

I don't know which version of mojo you are upgrading from, but I am 
guessing one from before we started marking bad IP addresses. If you 
look in /spider/UPGRADE.mojo it gives a list of all the relevant 
packages that might be missing. The relevant line is:

sudo apt-get install libev-perl libmojolicious-perl libjson-perl 
libjson-xs-perl libdata-structure-util-perl libmath-round-perl 
libnet-cidr-lite-perl

But if it still does not work properly, please follow the steps in the 
whole document making sure that, if you originally started with the 
master branch,  your installation has all the changes that mojo 
requires. Particularly anything that involves automatic startup using 
systemd et al.
