Hi
While I admit packages are better to maintain, there is some truth in the words of Michial Peters.
A bug should be filed. Bug does not necessarly mean "defect" but can also mean "missing". And in this case the package amaroK without MySql is certainly missing.
When compiling (...) it is as easy as configure --without-mysql but if packaged then the packager should make a package with MySQL and WITHOUT MySQL, even more so that MySQL support for amaroK is new (not taling about Beta versions)
With kind regards
Andy

Nope, just that amarok is built with support for a mysql backend, and that support requires mysql. (And, AFAIK unfortunately, there's no easy way to separate it out for those who don't want it).
