k3b won't burn audio cd using mp3s

[MoeNeigh]

I've searched and read through most of articles about this problem. But it seems they are all referring to earlier versions of kubuntu. I have universe, multiverse, restricted and medibuntu repositories enabled. However, k3b can't burn an audio cd from mp3 files. Amarok can read and play them with no problem.

The most common reply I've seen to this problem is to install libk3b2-mp3.

So when I try:

sudo apt-get install libk3b2-mp3

I get:

Package libk3b2-mp3 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libk3b2-extracodecs
E: Package libk3b2-mp3 has no installation candidate

I'm curious what that other package is that refers to libk3b2-mp3? If I understand the above message correctly, perhaps a line in another package needs to be changed to refer to libk3b2-exracodecs instead of libk3b2-mp3. So is libk3b2-mp3 obsolete in this version (kubuntu hardy 8.04)? Has it been replaced by libk3b2-exracodecs? If so, what package is referring to the older libk3b2-mp3?

Whoops! I guess I asked so many questions I figured it out. I made a duplicate folder with the old name libk3b2-mp3 and copied all the files that were in the libk3b2-extracodecs into the newly created libk3b2-mp3 folder. Looks like the new package that obsoleted the old one was still referring to the old package name.

I had this same probelm and I just resolved it by using this code

sudo apt-get install libk3b2-extracodecs

This worked out for me. .
