Todd (or anyone): Can you point me to the source for amarok-1.4.2-1?  I
can't find it on the Redhat web site
        download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras
or inferior directories.  The Changelog in thelatest source on the
Amarok site 
        amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download:Source
does mention a problem with pointer lengths on x86-64 processors but
says it's "FIX"ed.
