--- Comment #12 from Mark Fraser <mfraz74+...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Pedro de Carvalho Gomes from comment #1) > The error happens because Kubuntu 19.10 is shipped with Mysql 8. This major > Mysql version deprecated Mysql Embedded, which is the standard DB for > Amarok. You can read more about it here: > > https://mysqlserverteam.com/mysql-8-0-retiring-support-for-libmysqld/ > > I assume the package you installed is linked with libmysqlclient, whose API > is almost exactly the same as libmysqld. If this is the case, Amarok will > try to open a socket to a local mysql standalone instead of reading the old > DB from ~/.local/share/amarok/mysqle.

How come I have managed to install Amarok from 19.04 by just changing the dependencies of 2 packages in the DEBIAN/control file? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
