Amarok 1.4.2 collection scan fails

[jesse keys]

Hi Florian.

I had the same issues when upgrading to Amarok-svn. I posted in the forums
but did not get any answer so here is my dirty workaround which might help
you, too:

mv ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok ~/temp
strace amarokapp
choose sqlite and build the collection (might take a while)
quit amarok
cp ~/temp/scripts themes albumcovers back to new amarok folder
start amarokapp
change db to mysql (collection rebuilds just fine)

gute nacht ;)
