Description:
69-libmtp.rules file contains rules for Apple's iPhone/iPod Touch devices which causes them to be treated as MTP devices. These devices do not support MTP protocol and should not be treated as such. Presence of such rules causes bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313827 in Amarok.

Additional info:
libmtp-1.1.5
With the incorrect rule, the device appears in udevadm info like this
...
E: ID_MEDIA_PLAYER=1
E: ID_MODEL=iPod
E: ID_MODEL_ENC=iPod
E: ID_MODEL_ID=1291
E: ID_MTP_DEVICE=1
...

Without the rule the output looks like this:
...
E: ID_MEDIA_PLAYER=apple_video-ipod
E: ID_MODEL=iPod
E: ID_MODEL_ENC=iPod
E: ID_MODEL_ID=1291
...

Notice the missing ID_MTP_DEVICE flag and different ID_MEDIA_PLAYER.
This task depends upon

Sorry for the delay in replying. Please report this upstream as it is not a packaging issue. Thanks!

An upstream bug report has been filed shortly after I reported this, see http://sourceforge.net/p/libmtp/bugs/759/. Thanks.

Status? I don't see anything labeled as Apple in that file.
