Amarok libpqxx dependency not flagged

Hi,

I installed amarok last night.  I have installed from "base" and am upgraded to "current", no testing, and I am using gnome.

After installing amarok, running it from Applications->Sound & Video->, it would blink quickly and go away.  So, I ran it from a terminal prompt and it reported a dependency on libpq. This seemed to be taken care of when I installed libpqxx manually.  Amarok would then start and function.

I was watching the terminal output when a song would finish, and it would lament about not finding ruby. I also installed this manually and that seemed to fix the problem on that issue.

Shouldn't these dependencies have been recognized and installed when I installed amarok?

Re: Amarok libpqxx dependency not flagged

Does it? It's not listed in the depend list of amarok.
http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Requirements

Maybe a compile flag which can be turned off and wasn't.
Amarok has for long been a desaster on depends now. Damir updated them quite well. Hopefully Damir soon gets completely rid of this

Submit a bug report if it hasn't been done.

Submit a bug report if it hasn't been done.

I added one a couple days ago.

Re: Amarok libpqxx dependency not flagged

it's prolly not listed on ak website because postgresql is only needed if it's build with support for psql.
another dependency is ruby.

so this is a pkging bug rather than a dev~ issue..
