amarok lost collection after update to Natty

[m4v]

Binary package hint: amarok

I updated from Maverick to Natty devel with do-release-upgrade script. After reboot amarok had an collection of 4 songs, I had to re-scan it. The complete is collection is back but all metadata (statistics, ratings, tags) are lost.

This is a data-loss bug and I'm very sad that it might make it to Natty.

Here's a workaround to get your collection data back if you happen to have a MySQL backup file:
