ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Because I'm on Arch, I get Amarok from the AUR.
Comment 1 Antonio Rojas 2023-03-13 08:01:01 UTC 
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.
