having bitten the bullet and upgraded from feisty fawn to hardy heron i had to reinstall my amorok from svn to get proper support for artwork again…which requires an installation of libgpod from svn…which on hardy heron requires gdk-pixbuf…

…just installing libgdk-pixbuf2 and libgdk-pixbuf-dev didn’t satisfy libgpod’s configure script though. what did the trick was

% apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

compiling amarok now…
