Perhaps a library upgrade in Jessie. In the last month or two, there has been several FTBFS in Jessie. Some I have already addressed, some are still there (for example: koffice, k3b and tdenetworkmanager).

Should I open a bug report for the amarok crash? I won't be looking at it in the immediate future I reckon, but we will have to fix it before v14.0.0 is out (and the same holds for the other packages I mentioned above).

Cheers
