[Comment 1 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2007-05-31 10:13:48 UTC]

can you try 2.0.1 ?

[Comment 2 Stephen Lecheler 2007-05-31 14:53:06 UTC]

Tentatively I'm not seeing the same errors.  I'd like to put a hold on this bug for 1 week while I intensively use the 2.0.1 version.

[Comment 3 Kim Pedersen 2007-06-15 20:36:15 UTC]

2.0.2 is out. 
I have removed persons from my buddy list w/o problems.

[Comment 4 Stephen Lecheler 2007-06-15 23:23:22 UTC]

Curious...  2.0.1 is working for me.  Thank you gentoo net-im herd for not closing the bug out of hand and letting me poke at it for a few weeks.
