Does this mean libtag needs to be 1.4 or higher?

When I go to install (with libtag1.3.1-1) I get the followiing:


matt@win2k:~/dl$ sudo dpkg -i amarok-1.3_1.3-1_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 81873 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking amarok-1.3 (from amarok-1.3_1.3-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing amarok-1.3_1.3-1_i386.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/amarok', which is also in package amarok
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
amarok-1.3_1.3-1_i386.deb

Should I remove all of amarok and try again?

certainly, follow the above get libtag as posted previously in this thread:

wget http://www.lsr.ph.ic.ac.uk/~ho1/linux/deb/libtag1_1.4-1_i386.deb

then get amarok1.3 final from me:

wget http://pep.homelinux.net/~tonio/amarok-1.3_1.3-1_i386.deb

and install both of them:

sudo dpkg -i amarok-1.3_1.3-1_i386.deb libtag1_1.4-1_i386.deb

Edit: I have kde_3.4.2, and I compiled an x86 version.
Edit 2: corrected the dkpg -i line to fix the first filename.

You messed up your amarok install code...(missing _i386 and you need to replace an underscore with a hyphen).\


Edit: By the way, thank you for hosting and creating the .deb package. Amarok kicks so much punani.

Is there any way how to install other amarok-engines, xine-engine in my case?

I've compiled the same thing for amd64...enjoy!

this does not really work that easy, if you come from amarok 1.2, so (this also cleans broken installations). And your libtag1 also does NOT work on hoary! So:

• sudo apt-get remove --purge amarok-*
• sudo apt-get install libtag1/hoary
• sudo dpkg -i amarok-1.3_1.3-1_i386.deb

Libtag works fine on my Hoary.

Thanks! Those previous instructions just kind of broke things for me. Yours worked.
