[gentoo-user] amarok can't use mysql collection

[Alan McKinnon <alan.mckinnon@gmail.com>]

Does anyone here successfully use amarok-2.2.0 with mysql-5.0.84-r1?

I get errors like this whenever amarok updates the collection:

amarok:          [ERROR!] GREPME MySQL query failed! No database selected  on  
"INSERT INTO images SELECT * FROM images_temp;"                                                                          

It's not just the above versions, I've tried amarok-1.9.*, various versions of 
mysql-5.0 and mysql-community-5.1.*, always with the same results.

$ eix -e amarok

Google and b.g.o don't return much useful info. Moving the amarok db and 
config files out of the way and restarting doesn't correct the error.
