amarok-common conflicts with amarok

[Leonardo Silva Amaral]

Amarok-common conflicts with Amarok since my last update some minutes ago. My Kubuntu was installed from Kubuntu PPA (Stable version) about 4 or 5 hours ago.

Just a quick workarround:

apt-get download amarok
dpkg --force-depends-version -i amarok_2.5.0-0ubuntu4~oneiric1~ppa1_amd64.deb

That's archive inconsistency due to the long build queues for the different architectures currently. Should work now.

@Yofel, i know a lot these times are really annoying. Isnt the time to Kubuntu have you own build site? Im waiting KDE 4.8 a lot of days and until now we have broken packages due the time of compilation.

Well, not as in a seperate repository server. For KDE itself we have a
seperate archive (with restricted access) with higher priority where we
build the packages and later just copy them over to the PPAs. But
uploads to one of the PPAs itself end up in the same queue as every
other PPA. And I don't believe that's going to change in the near future.

I see. BTW, close this bug. The issue is solved and apt is ok again here.
