hey,  
hope its ok that I hijacked the thread, but I have the exact same issue that Bazarr is not starting anymore.

the service seems to be enabled and running.

I tried your command (but I think 170 is unRAR, so I used 180 (which should be Bazarr)

```auto
root@DietPi:~# dietpi-software install 170
systemctl restart bazarr
[OK] DietPi-Software | Initialised database

The original issue was about missing unrar. Therefore solution was to install it. 🙂

I would like to ask you to create a new troubleshooting issue, providing al relevant information as this is a 2 year old topic.
