Not a big problem, I just figured I would alert whoever may be handling this issue. My yum.conf is soley the one listed in the UnOfficial Fedora FAQ section

There is nothing wrong with your yum.conf. The reason for this is that some dependencies for amaroK are not yet prepared for its new release, 1.3. To solve your problem just uninstall the dependencies:
"yum remove amarok-arts amarok-akode"

Then run "yum update" again. Without those dependencies (uninstalled in the previous step), amaroK will reconfigure itself to use the gstream engine. If you really want to use those others engines, wait until someone create new version for them.

I just did a yum update and it pretty much hosed my amarok. I tried the amarok related stuff that wasn't 1.3 but that didn't fix anything. Amarok now complains that there is no plugins available and refuses to run. It's damned silly of the fedora packagers to put 1.3 out there without any of the plugins to actually mae the program usable. I now get:

amaroK could not find any sound-engine plugins. amaroK is now updating the KDE configuration database. Please wait a couple of minutes, then restart amaroK.
If this does not help, it is likely that amaroK is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:
$ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/
$ su -c "make uninstall"
$ ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"
$ kbuildsycoca
$ amarok
More information can be found in the README file. For further assistance join us at #amarok on irc.freenode.net.

Sorry for the delay, thanks for the info, it worked. I dont really use amarok, but it was this error I was getting, while updating, that was driving me crazy

I'm afraid I can't help you out, but I'm wandering if you have tried to install the amarok-xine engine 1.3. I've installed a test version (because there is not a stable one yet) built for FC4. You can search it at rpm.pbone.net.

Still not working... I guess I should go to the previous version and just not run yum update for a while. This package should never had made it into the extras repository.

I upgraded last night using Yum. The only problem I'm having is that when I add it the the launcer panel, it can't find the correct icon. Musicbrainz doesn't work either...but then again it never did.
Other than that it works like a champ. I love the improved layout and the VERY cool new features!
