Strange, Amarok 1.4x does not allow you to use the gstreamer backend. if you are correct that it can use multiple backend packages, an application that is designed to play music should be installed in such a way that it does indeed play music so the package maintainer should pick a package if multiple are available.
I do not know how the package dependency system is set up but maybe in a case like this it would be nice to allow the maintainer to specify a list of recommended backends and the package installer would install the first one in the list if none were installed already. -- amarok missing dependance on "phonon-backend-xine" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367033 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to amarok in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
