it should belong to libpcre package. i think that you've upgraded that
package recently, but you haven't run revdep-rebuild. There re some packages
depending on it, and i think that a dependency of amarok is broken after the
.la removal. the old kde3.5 version were linking against .la instead of
direct lib linking if i recall corectly, and so if a .la file is removed you
should rebuild the stuff linked against it. you might also encounter issues
rebuilding the broken packages. i still have some 3.5 packages that fail on
rebuild, but nowadays i don't really have time to fix them up.
anyway, my advice is to run revdep-rebuild and the retry installing amarok.
