7 Do you mean it doesn't work, or the upgrade is dogdy with blocker messages
8 that seem to have no source, make no sense, and no reason given?

10 My update this morning would not proceed with amarok-2.2.2 installed, and
11 portage could not work it's automagic. Unmerging amarok, emergeing world, then
12 merging amarok-2.2.2.90 seems to be proceeding fine, it's building as I type.

14 No guarantees it will succeed though...
15 Or that it will work in any sane fashion.

17 I'm starting to get really ticked off with amarok. The trials the devs have
18 put me through defy belief, and for some stupid reason, I persist with the
19 thing. I've removed it 3 times over the last 2 years and each time given it a
20 chance again and put it back. I really do like it's feature set, and I really
21 want it to succeed. My these infernal eternal cockups with mysql will be the
22 end of me.
