Amarok Script Manager fails to install any new scripts.

[Pajoe]

Script installation failed.
The package did not contain an executable file.
Please inform the package maintainer about this error.


That's the error message I get, with trying to install any new script. It was working a few weeks ago, but not now so I must have done something to disturb whatever it needs but have been unsucessful finding it. I did the some of the more obvious apt-get commands such as:

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a, $ sudo apt-get autoclean, $ sudo apt-get check
$ sudo apt-get update, $ sudo apt-get remove --purge amarok, $ sudo apt-get install amarok

I also made sure I turned off the backports in /etc/apt/sources.list and going throuigh the entire process again.

I also tried manually deleting my ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok and ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc and doing a complete installation of amarok - still the same results.

Everything installs and amarok seems to work but can't I add any scripts. I tried manually downloading the scripts and using the "install script" and point to the archive, as well as use the "get more scripts" and install option - neither works.

any suggestions?

Re: Amarok Script Manager fails to install any new scripts.

I never did get the Amarok Script manager to install any script, but got a way to make it work: I unpacked the the *.bz2 using tar -jxvf and then as root copied the entire directory that was created to /usr/share/apps/amarok/scripts Afterward it appeared in the Amarok Script manager menu and I could turn the new script on - and it worked
