Amarok Debian packages

  • The version in Lenny (stable) is and always will be 1.4.10.
  • The version in Squeeze (testing) is 1.4.10 at the moment.
  • The version in Sid (unstable) is 1.4.10 at the moment.
  • The version in experimental is 2.1.1 at the moment.

Installing Amarok 2

Due to dependency on MySQL Embedded 5.1, Amarok 2 won't be able to enter Debian Sid soon. However, Debian Sid (and likely Squeeze) users should be able to install it from Debian experimental repository. Debian Lenny is not and will never be supported.

First of all, you need to add Debian experimental repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list (read here for more information). Then you can install Amarok 2 packages using any APT package manager (e.g. aptitude): 

# aptitude -t experimental install amarok

You may also consider adding the following to your /etc/apt/preferences to enable automatic upgrades of the packages you have installed from experimental (which would include amarok): 

Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental, o=Debian
Pin-Priority: 101
