But that's what Debian stable is. You want it to be something different. It does NOT change which means neither normal bugs are fixed nor new ones are introduced. Only bugs of RC (serious, critical, grave, security) severity are allowed to be fixed which this one isn't. > > I'm not convinced I should do stable update for it even if the patch > > is rather trivial. > > Please, do.

Yes. But amarok sole purpose isn't only for accessing those services.

Wikipedia bug is the only I could practically consider fixing. -- Modestas Vainius <modes...@vainius.eu>
