[Bug 1565552] Re: Amarok unable to start in 16.04 beta
Hi. I had exactly the same error message: KDEInit could not launch 'amarok': Could not open library '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_amarok'. Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_amarok: (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_amarok.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) And Amarok is not installed right now as well. So when I try to install it I get: $ sudo apt install amarok Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies. amarok : Depends: libqca2v5 (>= 2.0.2) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I then tried: $ sudo apt install amarok libqca2v5 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libqca2v5 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: libqca2:i386 libqca2 E: Package 'libqca2v5' has no installation candidate $ dpkg --get-selections | grep libqca2 libqca2:amd64 install libqca2-plugin-ossl:amd64 install libqca2-plugins:amd64 install libqca2v5:amd64 deinstall I then tried to purge libqca2 (which uninstalls an amount of related dependencies) and try to install amarok again with the same problem (so I reinstalled the removed packages to the same initial status). It seems that libqca2v5 is not installable and libqca2 is already installed and replaces it, but amarok depends on the other. I also tried the Valorie Zimmerman suggestion (purge amarok*) without success. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Kubuntu PPA. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1565552 Title: Amarok unable to start in 16.04 beta To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1565552/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the purge/reinstall workaround - worked for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Kubuntu PPA. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1565552 Title: Amarok unable to start in 16.04 beta To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1565552/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1565552] Re: Amarok unable to start in 16.04 beta
Reassigning it to the PPA instead. The problem is that the backports ppa for some reason unknown to me has a beta build of amarok 2.9 that was never released anywhere else, and as that seems to be incompatible with the rest of the software stack in xenial, everyone that used the backports ppa in wily and upgrades to xenial will run into this. ** Package changed: amarok (Ubuntu) => kubuntu-ppa ** Changed in: kubuntu-ppa Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Kubuntu PPA. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1565552 Title: Amarok unable to start in 16.04 beta To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1565552/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Once I purged amarok* (sudo apt-get purge amarok*) I could then successfully re-install and run Amarok.
