Confirmed

Rebuild does not help. Maybe symlinking some libraries will, I'll try it later.

Just need that

ln -s /usr/lib/libFLAC.so /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.4

Same problem. There seems to be an increasingly amount of packages that suffer from this kind of 'bugs'. How comes?

XMMS also doesn't play flacs anymore. The xmms input plugin is missing in 1.1.1-1

If you have xmms installed the plugin is automatically built, otherwise not. Maybe this could be added to the configure switches in PKGBUILD:

--with-xmms-prefix=/usr

so the package maintainers would not need to care about having xmms installed.

amarok is missing a makedepends=('xmms'), yes

libflac: hmm ... seems that flac itself changed something (they do not longer provide the /usr/lib/libFLAC.so file), so other programms are in trouble because of it ... best would be to make flac provide it (e.g. by symlinking it in the pkg flac)

the maintainers are me and i have xmms always installed (it was installed about 3 years ago and never removed) ... you are right that the PKGBUILD needs a mroe general rule for it (by providing makedepends) ... however, --with-xmms-prefix=/usr is not needed, as amarok should detect it with ./configure, i'm quite sure

I did not make myself clear, I was refering to flac package, not amarok package. I wrote in this particular bug report because it seems the problem is in the flac package, not amarok, and I noticed another bug in the same flac package - the flac plugin for xmms is not present (but it has been in previous versions of flac package). I don't even have amarok installed.
The funny thing is, amarok and flac are the same version right now, i.e. 1.1.1-1 (I didn't notice this till now. I mean, what are the odds for that!?!) and that's why you (Damir) misunderstood me.

Anyway, probably the same reply you wrote for amarok goes to flac, too?

i don't know flac good enough to answer that

the version 1.1.1-1 for both is really funny - sorry for misunderstandment --- if you are sure that flac xmms plugin is a packing problem, you can post a bug against flac (this bug is concerning amaroks not starting any more, what is an other problem that is only related to flac update)

tunepimp needed rebuilt
now it launches fine again
i'll upload it now

ups sorry
amarok needs rebuilt against new tunepimp then it works again

i'll rebuild amarok, when i -Suy tunepimp

1.1.1-2 fixes this

thx tobias for the fixed tunepimp
