[Bug 215291] [NEW] Amarok 1.4.9 fails to read Ipod classic database

[Philip Walls]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

Upon upgrading to amarok=1.4.9-0ubuntu1 (Hardy), my iPod classic is
still recognized, but silently fails to display my collection. I can
work around the problem temporarily by downgrading to
amarok=1.4.8-0ubuntu5. All other libgpod applications also continue to
work (rhythmbox, exaile, gtkpod, hipo).

Steps to reproduce:
1) Attach IPOD, make sure it's mounted (/media/IPOD)
2) Open Amarok
3) Switch to "Devices" tab
4) Amarok detects device with all correct parameters (including version of device, "ipod classic silver")
5) Click "Connect"

Result:
Amarok silently does nothing, collection is not displayed

Expected result:
Amarok synchronizes collection from the iPod

Workaround:
Manually downgrade to older amarok package (1.4.8-0ubuntu5) including amarok-engines and amarok-xine (possibly unnecessary).
