Arch Linux

i cannot confirm this here it works just fine

I am not the only one with this error and the same error is coming after every major db update
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6674?string=amarok&project=1&search_name=&type[]=&sev[]=&pri[]=&due[]=&reported[]=&cat[]=&status[]=&percent[]=&opened=matersci&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=

did you have a full up to date system?
here it works on 686 and 64 wihtout any hickup
you have plugins installed?
pacman -Qi db should give you the depends, check if all those have been rebuilt.

If you're using kdemod you have to upgrade to their testing packages.

works for me; lddd does not report any issues, too.

can we close this it seems not to be valid at all

I have the same problem, since the db update.

are you using the stock kde or the kdemod packages?
are you using the same mirror source?

$ pacman -Q amarok-base db
amarok-base 1.4.7-1
db 4.6.21-1

$ ldd `which amarokapp`|grep db
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0xb5db5000)
libdb-4.5.so => not found

$ amarok
Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now I'm using ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/community/os/i686 mirror.
I think I don't use kdemod... because I don't know what is it :|

My amarok isn't linked to db at all:

[pierre@opteron ~]$ ldd `which amarokapp`|grep db
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002b266db98000)

[pierre@opteron ~]$ pacman -Q amarok-base db
amarok-base 1.4.7-1
db 4.6.21-1

my systems also are not linked with libgcrypt or db and amarok

So what's wrong with mine?

I tried to reinstall amarok-base but it didn't helped.
Changing mirrors to:
ftp://mirror.icis.pcz.pl/archlinux/
also no effects during update.

amarok catches some kind of runtime depends that links against old db
check pacman -Qi db for known db depends on your system

$ pacman -Qi db
Nazwa : db
Wersja : 4.6.21-1

Wymag. przez : apache apr-util cyrus-sasl heimdal kdeaddons kdebase

please reinstall all db dependencies and try again:
apache apr-util cyrus-sasl heimdal kdeaddons kdebase
kdelibs kdesdk librcc libsasl neon pam perl python
python24 ruby samba smbclient taglib-rcc wireshark

I did:
pacman -Sy apache apr-util cyrus-sasl heimdal kdeaddons kdebase kdelibs kdesdk librcc libsasl neon pam perl python python24 ruby samba smbclient taglib-rcc wireshark

and then:
pacman -S amarok-base amarok-engine-xine

strange :|

ok md5sum of amarok-base?
686:
md5sum amarok-base-1.4.7-1.pkg.tar.gz
85aff8e8a1134ad9cf8962676c4d350d amarok-base-1.4.7-1.pkg.tar.gz

x86_64:
md5sum amarok-base-1.4.7-1.pkg.tar.gz
75f437d9fac5dceb86eb9ff15c16e243 amarok-base-1.4.7-1.pkg.tar.gz

$ md5sum /var/cache/pacman/pkg/amarok-base-1.4.7-1.pkg.tar.gz
85aff8e8a1134ad9cf8962676c4d350d /var/cache/pacman/pkg/amarok-base-1.4.7-1.pkg.tar.gz

ok list all versions of amarok-base depends please.

$ for i in "amarok-engine-xine libmp4v2 libmysqlclient postgresql-libs ruby tunepimp"; do pacman -Q $i; done
amarok-engine-xine 1.4.7-1
libmp4v2 1.5.0.1-1
libmysqlclient 5.0.45-1
postgresql-libs 8.2.4-1
ruby 1.8.6_p111-2
tunepimp 0.5.3-5

what happens if you remove taglib-rcc?

$ LANG="" pacman -Rs taglib-rcc
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: taglib-rcc is required by amarok-engine-xine
:: taglib-rcc is required by k3b
:: taglib-rcc is required by kdemultimedia
:: taglib-rcc is required by mp3unicode
:: taglib-rcc is required by tunepimp

$ LANG="" pacman -Rd taglib-rcc
$ LANG="" pacman -S taglib

$ amarok

and works fine!

yes i don't know why you got such a broken taglib on your system
