Bug ID: 501747
Summary: Collection unavailable if Debian package
"mariadb-server" is not installed
Classification: Applications
Product: amarok
Version: 3.2.2
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Collections/Local
Assignee: amarok-bugs-d...@kde.org
Reporter: ivansanc...@escomposlinux.org
CC: ralf-eng...@gmx.de
Target Milestone: kf5
SUMMARY
I recently uninstalled `mariadb-server` on my system, and that made Amarok
display an error dialog on startup (related to MySQL-embedded); besides the
collection shows empty.
I am **not** using an external MySQL/mariadb connection.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a Debian/testing or Debian/unstable system
2. Install the `amarok` debian package
3. Ensure the `mariadb-server` debian package is uninstalled
4. Run amarok
OBSERVED RESULT
During startup, the following error message is displayed on a dialog and on a
terminal when running `amarok --debug`:
```
amarok: [ERROR__] [MySqlStorage] "MySQLe something failed! on library
initialization failed, return code 1"
```
EXPECTED RESULT
No error messages during startup.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.12.17-amd64 (64-bit)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I guess that MySQL-embedded *should* work even when there's no MySQL/MariaDB
server installed on the system, but somehow that is not the case. All I know is
that installing the whole MariaDB-server-10.5 makes MySQLe work.
An easy approach to this problem would be to add `mariadb-server` as a
recommended package in the `debian.rules` file (which is the basis to build the
amarok debian package) - but at first sight, the Amarok git repo doesn't hold
that file, and I don't know who handles distro packaging.
I do not know if this is reproducible on other distros as well.
