Description Niranjan 2009-06-19 21:45:23 UTC
As seen in the Debian bug report at <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=525501>,  pidgin segfaults when pidgin-encryption is enabled and user-specific logging overrides are used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Enable logging globally
2.  Disable logging for a specific user
3.  Attempt to send or reveive message to user for whom logging options have been changed

Actual Results:  
Pidgin segfaults

Expected Results:  
Allow encrypted message sending as usual

A patch has been written that appears to fix the issue.

Updated pidgin-encryption ebuild

Attempt at modifying ebuild to use patch, I'm not really sure if this should actually be an "r1".

Hi,

pidgin-encryption is still alive ???

It should get replace by OTR, because OTR is useable with many other IM's too.

During debugging of bug #292321 I've already found that fix and commited. So this bug is fixed in pidgin-encryption-3.0-r1. Any way thank you for report, guys. Fixed.
