Amarok Project Neon Problems

[koolcracker]

Okay, so trying to install Amarok 2 Beta 2, but when I try to install certain packages, i get an error message liek this:

amarok-nightly-strigi:
Depends: amarok-nightly-kdesupport (=20080811+svn845176-0neon1) but 20081006.1+svn868387-0neon2 is to be installed

and I am getting the idea that I need to install that version of KDE support, but I don't know where to find it. Any help on isntalling amarok, maybe an alternate method, or a solution tot his problem would be great.

Okay, im not positive if I need those packages at all, im confused, but I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction if I post the terminal output. this is just all the good stuff from the bottom haha, thanks. I would really like to get this up and running, I had the the first beta installed fine on my computer, and then I had a problem, reinstalled hardy from scratch, and now neither of them will install.

Since last update same error here.

[Gooler]

And yet another one with this same problem...

[cwk]

I'm also having this issue. Any solutions?

I have this problem too in intrepid ibex kubuntu both with kde4 from repo and trunk kde4.

Another one with the same problem. Using Ubuntu Intrepid.

[r!ots]

Exactly the same problem here on a fresh ubuntu 8.04 amd64 install. Any solution yet?

[Gooler]

I've upgraded today & installed a new packet called amarok-nightly-mysql-data. Now Amarok works again.

[fdmarco3]

for me the problem is there even after the upgrades...:confused:

[Warbo]

There may have been an issue with Amarok 2 itself (since it works for me now I assume its been fixed), but there is no 'problem' with uninstallable packages.

Packages like kde-nightly-strigi are out of date (last updated sometime in August), since they have been merged into the other packages. For instance, strigi is now in kde-nightly-kdesupport. Those packages which won't install should not be installed anyway (I don't know why they're still in the repository)

Here's what worked for me on Intrepid (GNOME) as an APT source line:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu intrepid main

Once installed, I didn't get a fancy menu item, but the command for a terminal is simply
amarok-nightly (FYI).

I have that exact repo and also use the same command to start amarok-nightly, still it dosent like to play along with pulseaudio...
