[Bug 81277] Kubuntu 6.10 lacks FLAC decoding libraries

[Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

Hello,

It seems the last official version of Kubuntu released is missing the
FLAC decoding libraries.  I do not know yet if other *buntu distros and
older versions of Kubuntu are lacking them too, but right now 6.10
doesn't have them.  And that's pretty annoying.  I had to install
Mplayer to play my FLAC albums, because Amarok kept complaining there
was no decoder.  A quick look in /usr/lib seemed to be lacking the FLAC
libraries, so I'm filling this report.

Yes, this is a bug.  FLAC is as open and non-proprietary as any audio
format will ever be.  It's a project of Xiph.Org Foundation.  FLAC's
popular.  If a user can't play his/her FLAC files out of the box, then
the system has a problem.  Please look into this.
