Oh no. I just noticed Konqueror was missing. I went and reinstalled it and then opened it and went to help and about KDE and it says KDE Version 4.2.90 (KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2)). This it not good. I didn't want the KDE upgrade just Amarok. Why would they put this in the same repository as Amarok? Especially without telling you it's going to do it? Can this be fixed back to the previous version?

The repository is the > Kubuntu Backports (PPA)

Backports of new versions of KDE for Kubuntu which are not yet tested enough to go to Ubuntu Backports.

.

.. yes it would be nice if the http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.1 would have good and complete warnings and instructions...


Going back / downgrading

You are not the first, probably not the last

Maybe this helps, earlier > Topic: downgrading kubuntu intrepid back from kde 4.2 rc1 to kde 4.1.4


...and a bit earlier > Topic: KDE 4.1 -> KDE 4.0 Downgrade

Re: ARK throwing error after update

Try:
apt-get install rar

that fixes it for me. But it installs the shareware version

Re: ARK throwing error after update

Last night I ran into the same and installed rar.

It used to be that unrar was sufficient for Ark to do the job so you might want to experiment assigning unrar to the rar extension.
