Adding a new IRC account crashes Pidgin every time. I have tried this with AIM accounts, and no crash happens. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start pidgin 2. Add IRC account 3. Click "Save" Actual Results: Segfault. Expected Results: Account added successfully, or useful error message produced. For the stack trace, I re-emerge all pidgin packages and plugins with USE=debug and FEATURES=nostrip (but the crash happens either way).

Created attachment 143912 [details] Full backtrace I'm not sure if the unknown symbols are at the useful end or not. I can rebuild whatever is needed to generate a more useful backtrace; just let me know.
If you read the stack trace, it dies in album-ui.c, which is part of the purple-plugin-pack, which version do you have ?
And if you dont have it, does upgrading to purple-plugin-pack 2.2.0 fix the problem ?
I have x11-plugins/purple-plugin_pack-1.0. I will try version 2.2.0 and report back.
There is no crash with x11-plugins/purple-plugin_pack-2.2.0. Thank you for your help. Should I mark the bug as fixed, or is there something that should be changed in the ebuild(s) to avoid this problem?
I will have purple-plugin-back 2.2.0 marked stable asap
