Bug Description

After upgrading my amaroK -player today, it won't start running anymore. I tried to run it in console, but it shows me a report like this:
@kubuntunen:~$ amarok
amarok: error while loading shared libraries: libkdecore.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have searched from google for those libraries, but I can't find them. Is there a way to solve this?

I'm using Kubuntu Dapper Drake flight7, AMD64.

ia32-libs-kde: /usr/lib32/libkdecore.so.4

Then if I do in /usr/lib :

sudo ln -s libkdecore.so.4.2.0 libkdecore.4

I got :

then I do : sudo ln -s libkio.so.4.2.0 libkio.4

and then I got :

So I stop here but there are issues with symbolink links...
