Amarok and libmysqlclient

Hi !

I have a x86_64 machine running Arch with [testing] enabled.
Since 2 days i have not been able to run amarok because libmysqlclient has been upgraded.
Amarok needs libmysqlclient.so.15, and the upgrade of mysql upgraded it to libmysqlclient.so.16.

I could downgrade but... I'll wait for it to be fixed (lazy xD , implies downgrading mysql also etc.. )
So, is there someone to warn ? A bug form to fill ? What should I do ?

Thanx

++ B.

EDIT : Maybe I should have posted this in the testing section

Re: Amarok and libmysqlclient

I know this is NO help whatsoever, but I am using xmms on the upgraded system, while my other system is downgraded using amarok....  In short, I have the same problem as you (and apparently other people who just downgrade), and am using xmms until it's fixed.  Blech.

Re: Amarok and libmysqlclient

MySQL 5.1 is placed into [testing] so that other packages which depend on it can be rebuilt and linked against the new shared library.

In the case of Amarok, the developers are already working on it. You can only wait (or stop using [testing] ;p).

Re: Amarok and libmysqlclient

Thanks for the link foutrelis
This means they won't maintain amarok1 but jump directly to amarok2 ?

I'm using vlc The unabeefer

Let's wait for amarok to be fixed then
Thank you

Re: Amarok and libmysqlclient

Creating a symbolic link works for me: ln -s /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.1{6,5}

Don't symlink libraries like that. You risk breaking your system. The appropriate fix is to rebuild amarok like foutrelis said.

Re: Amarok and libmysqlclient

I tried Rebuilding it too, but error at configure... of I "forced" the configure script to continue with a value I think that's good (KDE prefix), but this time error at compilation...

Re: Amarok and libmysqlclient

I guess this is slightly different, but I updgraded libmysqlclient as well (Amarok was working fine beforehand). Due to some file conflict I couldn't upgrade, so after several days I tried using the force option to overwrite the files already in place.
Now guess what, Amarok doesn't work at all.

Here is the log I get :
~]$ amarok(11499)/kdecore (KLibLoader) findLibraryInternal: plugins should not have a 'lib' prefix: "libamarok_collection-mtpcollection.so"
amarok(11499)/kdecore (KLibLoader) findLibraryInternal: plugins should not have a 'lib' prefix: "libamarok_collection-ipodcollection.so"

KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = amarok path = <unknown> pid = 11499
sock_file=/home/louim/.kde4/socket-louimama/kdeinit4__0

Is there anything to do about it?

Thanks a lot
