@howard
the fix is to remove the amarok-utils package

sudo apt-get remove amarok-utils should do it but I used synaptic

If you want, you can compile it yourself for 9.10 Karmic, works fine without needing additional ppa’s:

But there is no way to get Amarok 1.4 working with music applet in Ubuntu 9.10. Package python-kde3 has been removed.

Do absolutely the same, if you want to install amarok 1.4 on ubuntu 9.10!
Just tested – works fine!

That also means to use the jaunty repositorys. don’t look for karmic’s!
