I did a quick test with a openSuSE 12.1 Tumbleweed VM and a Factory VM and both worked,
Tumbleweed has a more recent version of amarok, KDE etc. than 12.1, does it not?
also IIRC the bug was fixed twice or three times but kept coming back...
so it's not that amarok didn't work for a year
I only stated that the issue is known for a year.
Nevertheless the "amarok-breaking" patch was shipped without shipping the amarok fix at the same time. AFAIK amarok is still unfixed if one sticks to only official packages for 12.1.
Who is responsible? Or is that the actual problem with openSUSE causing this kind of issue?
One should not "make fun" of users that use unofficial repos in case it breaks their system but rely on users having to do exactly that in order to have a working amarok.

I can understand you questioning as to why a bug which has been reported some 12 months ago is still around. This is a matter of principle about why bugs aren't attended to and remain a bug after a year, and I agree with you.
I don't have problem to use workaround, but it is real shame, that default application stays broken for 12 months when people use default repositories. A lot of people do so and they are not able to use workarounds with modifying repos, locking MySQL and so on.
But, to be honest, why would anyone bother with amarok when there are more superior applications available, for example vlc or xine?
Amarok IMHO is good application, I like it, it does what I want. VLC is good, but as far as I know, it does not work with collections in certain directory as Amarok does. And Xine IMHO is not so good.
What *I* would be questioning is why amarok automatically installed? And why also automatically install kaffeine which does the same thing as amarok, as far as I am concerned? Waste of space and time.
Well, it is actively developed and it is default KDE application. It has a lot of functions, it works well. There is no reason to change it to let it broken for a year. ;-)
