[Bug 316889] Re: [jaunty] we should have both Amarok 2.x and Amarok 1.4

[Bogdan Butnaru]

Bao2, you can go to
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+package/amarok and
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+package/amarok-common and
download the last 1.4 package for your architecture. Then you have to
remove amarok in aptitude, install the downloaded deb files manually (I
think I used something like  “gdebi --apt-line
amarok_1.4.10-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb” to do that, according to my bash
history.)

Then you have to hold the packages to that version, like “sudo aptitude
hold amarok amarok-common”, so they don't get updated. However, note
that currently update-manager doesn't honor the “hold” flag, so you have
to use only aptitude to install updates.

The alternative is to simply remove Amarok from the repositories and
install it manually (either from source or from the extracted debs).
This has the advantage that the updates won't mess with your version,
but you'll have to manage any dependencies manually and that may be
annoying.
