[Bug 1565552] Re: Amarok unable to start in 16.04 beta

[minterior]

Hi. I had exactly the same error message:

KDEInit could not launch 'amarok':
Could not open library '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_amarok'.
Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_amarok: (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_amarok.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

And Amarok is not installed right now as well. So when I try to install
it I get:

$ sudo apt install amarok
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 amarok : Depends: libqca2v5 (>= 2.0.2) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I then tried:

$ sudo apt install amarok libqca2v5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libqca2v5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libqca2:i386 libqca2

E: Package 'libqca2v5' has no installation candidate


$ dpkg --get-selections | grep libqca2
libqca2:amd64                                   install
libqca2-plugin-ossl:amd64                       install
libqca2-plugins:amd64                           install
libqca2v5:amd64                                 deinstall

I then tried to purge libqca2 (which uninstalls an amount of related
dependencies) and try to install amarok again with the same problem (so
I reinstalled the removed packages to the same initial status).

It seems that libqca2v5 is not installable and libqca2 is already
installed and replaces it, but amarok depends on the other.

I also tried the Valorie Zimmerman suggestion (purge amarok*) without
success.
