Maintenance of AUR packages, in particular rebuilds for soname bumps, are the user's responsibility.

Comment 2 Matzkowsky 2023-04-15 11:18:04 UTC

Updating ffmpeg to version 6, plus rebuilding amarok is sufficient to solve the broken reference. I can confirm that this solved the issue on my arch installation. Thus, no action required from the AUR maintainer.
