(crash) amarok demands taglib 1.4 but (k)ubuntu only delivers 1.3.1

[Martin Ammermüller]

amarok versions 1.3.1 up to 1.3.5 are depending upon taglib version 1.4 but the
kubuntu packages are only depending on taglib 1.3.1 (furthermore, taglib 1.4 is only
accesible through backports, like http://uhu.name/ubuntu/).

This makes amarok crash when trying to play or display metadata from mp3 files for
which amarok tries to use taglib 1.4 API.

This problem still exists with amarok 1.3.7 and Kubuntu breezy.

[Paul Tarjan (spam-paulisageek)]

This bug is still around. Will upgrading to tablib 1.4 in the repository hurt anything? If not, I suggest we do.

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

does this bug still exist in kubuntu edgy? Presumably not.

[Martin Ammermüller (martin-ammermueller)]

good question. i am not running edgy and therefore cannot test this.
