[17:07] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> could people please test amarok 2.9.0 in ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-misc please [17:09] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> not even slighy suggesting shipping that kde4 version as our default, but having the new bugfix release in the repos as a fallback would look good ...

It brought in a bunch of dependencies, and when I ran the program, I successfully played Art of Nations.

The Qt4 Amarok has become an unseeded (iso or meta) leaf package for us at the moment.
