In my understanding:
- This is a high priority bug since all the standard ripping methods in Ubuntu 10.04 are affected (Sound-Juicer, Rhythmbox). Also K3b in the Kubuntu side has same broken dependency, but as it uses freedb.org as first priority, users are not directly affected...

-the fix should be easy:
Rhythmbox-plugins and sound-juicer are built with libmusicbrainz4c2a. This is an old version 2.1.5 with now removed interface. The dependency should be towards libmusicbrainz3 (=3.0.2) which includes the XML based interface.

I can not verify it, but I believe that Ubuntu 10.10 has already this dependency fixed.

Please note that Ubuntu 10.04 has plenty of other packages that can not work towards Musicbrainz after they removed old depreciated interface. For example python-musicbrainz, libkcddb4, kscd, prokyon3, muine, goobox, gmerlin...
These are minor issue, since they are not standard installed applications like Rhythmbox, but also mean that users have few easy alternatives to work-around.
