amarok doesn't start because of undefined symbol in taglib

[Tomas Van Verrewegen]

Binary package hint: amarok

When starting amarok I get the following error:

amarok: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libamaroklib.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZTIN6TagLib3MP44FileE

Output of "ldd -r /usr/lib64/libamaroklib.so.1": (only relevant part shown)

Searching google only gives a couple of hits related to the same problem in suse: taglib version mismatch.

Hi!

Try to uninstall libtag1c2a; libtag1; libtag1-dev; libtag-extras-dev; libtag-extras-dev
with:

sudo apt-get remove libtag1c2a libtag1 libtag1-dev libtag-extras-dev libtag-extras-dev

Restart Amarok.

It works for me!

Bye.

I installed Kubuntu-9.10 from release CD. Now it works.
Still no idea why it didn't before, but for me, this issue is resolved.

Looks like a transitional issue to me, especially since latest taglib is now
