Amarok 1.2 beta1 needs musicbrainz to build properly and only kde 3.3.1 and higher installs it. Musicbrainz should be added to the amarok ebuild as a dependency.

Reproducible: Always

2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Stopped emerging with an error of couldn't find musisbrainz.la

Expected Results:  
Compiled successfully

amarok depends on tunepimp, that depends on musicbrainz.
Could you try to find out why it was not picked up?

I unemerged musicbrainz and tried to see how to get it back by emerging amaroK. The only time that it showed up in the list to emerge was when I was using the --deep flag. Everything else didn't pull it up as something that was needed. I also checked what happened when tunepimp wasn't already installed. When it isn't installed, then it catches that it needs musicbrainz. From what I can tell, tunepimp was installed with kdemultimedia and since it was already there, it didn't check whether all of its dependicies had been installed.

There's nothing to do then: portage does not scan the dependency tree unless
you use --deep, it assumes that installed dependencies are not broken...
