You do realise that this is likely something in the system update that
broke Amarok, and we are not responsible for that breaking, maybe
talking to your distribution would be more useful, as it will make
them aware of a problem in their packaging.
Anyway, let's try to debug the problem nonetheless:

To be able to help we would need that output, the best is to actually
copying it to paste.kde.org and provide the link to it. Even if those
lines mean nothing to you, we need them to help you, else we can only
guess.
