[SOLVED] Amarok won't add local collections

Hello!

I've just updated amarok to 2.7 and existing local collection disappeared. Now I go Settings -> Configure Amarok  -> Local collection and check a directory. Pressing 'Full rescan' or 'Apply' does nothing. Changes won't save (no directories are checked if open dialogue again).

On #amarok channel I got advise to install mariadb. Strange, but it appears to be in amarok package dependencies, but no warnings appeared during upgrade. After the upgrade mysql package was installed and mariadb was not. I manually installed maridb (it replaced mysql), but amarok still wont work.

Any suggestions?

You need to install also libmariadbclient and mariabd-clients

Thank you! Finally it works. Yet I am wondering why this package is not a dependency for amakor? Sure amarok can work without it, but... it will be most unusual usage.  It could be optional dependency at least.
