I had the same problem with Kubuntu, but not Ubuntu (dual boot).  I
discovered that ruby was not installling.  I removed amarok with the
package manager and then went into a terminal and typed:  sudo install
ruby amarok

I got an error message followed by a 'fixed' message, then ruby
installed and amarok installed and all was good.
