Public bug reported: Amaroks wikipedia applet stopped showing any information. According to the upstream bug report (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349313) this is caused by a change in wikipedias api, which requires now a ssl connection. This means, that all amarok versions currently available on ubuntu are affected.
The same bug report mentions a commit http://commits.kde.org/amarok/284342b48dc32341c3553fd2b0ee5069d75b58f9 which (partially) fixes the issue by making it possible to enable ssl for the applet. It might be worth backporting if possible.
