2.99 Not Downloading Hi-Res Audio

[C E Macfarlane]

As per title, until today have been using 2.97, tried 2.99 just now and
can't get it to work ...

The log file shows the following:

Does 2.99 require a Perl package not required by previous versions?  That's
what the message suggests to me at a first glance, but I can't see anything
like that in the Release Notes, only dependencies removed for 2.98.
