That worked. Thank you very much.

There is obviously sime fundamental difference that I don't understand
between apt and RPM-based systems. I had kept my system scrupulously
up to date by using synaptic to install every update as identified by
adept-updater.

I thought that that meant that my system was current and that "apt-get
dist-upgrade" would be a no-op. But it certainly wasn't, and my music
is now happily playing under amarok 1.4.4.
