There used to be an amarok package for Debian:

https://wiki.debian.org/Amarok

and yet, if you visit that page and follow the link, the package seems to be gone. And when I apt search amarok - I find nothing (on Devuan Deadalus, i.e. ~= Debian 12.0).

Was it removed from Debian? Or just abandoned? And - how do people typically install amarok on Debian these days?

As the link provided by @A.B. suggests - Amarok seems to be somewhat abandoned, with no proper release since 2018 and the last "preview release" being 2 years ago. With no acceptable Qt5-based release - Debian have dropped the package.

Too bad :-(

  • @MarcusMüller: Just asked about a successor on SR.SE. But - Clementine also seems abandoned - no news since 2016.

  • It's not abandoned, they just haven't done a proper version increase and release (which I find a bummer), so currently every distro is shipping "clementine 1.4 release candidate N" or so
