Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: amarok
This looks like an old bug, but is a new bug on hardy:
Version: Amarok 1.4.8 (using KDE 3.5.8, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.8-4ubuntu7)
Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-5-generic
The first time I play an mp3 in amarok on Kubuntu hardy heron (alpha2) I
get the dialog "Amarok currently cannot play MP3 files." ... I click the
"Install MP3 Support" button. It goes away and comes back with "MP3
support now installed, you will need to restart Amarok.". I restart and
I still can't play mp3s.
This is on a brand new installed hardy 8.4 alpha2 running 1 user (the
one from the setup with id 1000).
-------------------
The work around is to execute following from a Konsole:
sudo aptitude install libxine1-ffmpeg
-------------------
I debugged a bit and the reason is the following:
It's in the install-mp3 script (/usr/lib/amarok). If I run it manually I
get following:
bash -x ./install-mp3
++ dpkg --get-selections libxine1-ffmpeg
++ grep install
+ INSTALLED=
++ lsb_release -sc
+ RELEASE=hardy
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ '[' -x /usr/bin/kdesu ']'
+ '[' -x /usr/bin/adept_batch ']'
+ kdesu -d 'bash -c "adept_batch update; adept_batch install libxine1-ffmpeg"'
update;: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
update;: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
+ check_mp3
+ '[' 0 -eq 0 ']'
+ '[' -x /usr/bin/kdialog ']'
+ kdialog --msgbox 'MP3 support now installed, you will need to restart Amarok.'
+ exit 0
----------
So the kdesu line 'blows' up and the check afterwards fails.
