Bug Description

With Kubuntu 7.04 Beta with all updates till 31.03.2007, after clicking on a non-free media file (mp3 in my case) Amarok will offer to install a missing codec.

If adept, apt-get or some other package manager is running, codec installation will, naturally, fail and the error message states, that you should close the package manager.

After doing this, clicking on the same file (or another file of the same type, haven't tried different types) will no longer offer to install the missing codec! I haven't rebooted to see if that fixes it.

Yep, it does. After the install fails, Adept tells me, that I have to install xineffmpeg manually and clicking on a mp3-file won't start the install again.

A restart helps. Amarok was started from the last session and the codec-install prompt immediately appeared.
