Comment 2 for bug 84173

Hello paul

I'm sorry you're having problems with amarok's collection scanner. There was a change made to the Amarok 1.4.5 packages that fixes issues with this. Could you please try upgrading from the 1.4.3 you have now to 1.4.5? Also, how many songs are in your collection?

Let me know if you have any problems with installing 1.4.5
