Bug Description

Binary package hint: amarok

The amarok 1.4.4 update which is published on the kubuntu.org homepage has a serious bug. When attempting to purchase an album via Magnatunes it tries to purchase multiple times when the purchase button is clicked.

Fortunately Magnatunes' website detects this and avoids charging more than once. Apparently this bug has actually cost some people money.

The issue has apparently been fixed upstream: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138584

To reiterate, this does not affect the version of amarok shipped with Edgy or Dapper, it may affect Feisty.

Thanks for letting us know. If it has already been fixed upstream, then the next sync with Debian will get the fix into Ubuntu repositories. It may even be fixed already!

Now that Amarok 1.4.5 has been released for both edgy and feisty, this should no longer be a problem. Please reopen if it needs more attention.
