It's broken due to general packaging violations in the lms-1.08 package. Please purge it (`dpkg -P lms`) before doing anything else. For LMS functionality, you'll want to switch to the much nicer and cleaner "Logitech Media Server NT" package from our Apps library.
I had pretty much the exact same problem a year ago: I initiated a restart while a balance was running, which caused the system to hang. I eventually had to force reboot my system (after waiting two weeks!) and the end result was a damaged filesystem. I had to do a full reformat.
