            Bug ID: 409966
           Summary: Amarok won't run, complains about missing plugins
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.9.0
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org
          Reporter: eyalroz@technion.ac.il
  Target Milestone: kf5

I've downloaded and built Amarok 2.9.0 on Devuan Beowulf (= Debian Buster
without systemd) - after installing a whole bunch of prerequisite Qt and
KDE-related packaged.

The build succeeds (after a bit of trouble I reported in other issues and got
resolved); and I make install'ed amarok to /usr/loca . Now, when trying to run
amarok, I get

```
amarok(24045)/kdecore (trader) KServiceTypeTrader::defaultOffers:
KServiceTypeTrader: serviceType  "Amarok/Plugin"  not found 
```
on the console, and a message box saying:

> Amarok could not find any plugins. This indicates an installation problem.


I'm reporting this as a bug for several reasons:

1. If something else need to be present on the system, then cmake'ing should
have told me so.
2. Even if something is missing, the GUI and/or console messages should tell me
what exactly what files, or folders, are missing so that I could go get them.
3. If plugins need to be installed independently - why aren't they available on
the website?
4. If plugins are built and installed - how come amarok doesn't make even a
minimal effort to locate them?

Note: This is not resolved like the very similar problem I reported a while ago
as the very similar bug 399097.
