Editing AIM contact list (contact info. or contact alias) produces duplicates. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add user by using contact wizard. 2. Right-click on contact. 3. Select 'delete contact', 'edit info' or 'edit alias'. 4. Modify contact's shortcut (i.e., the name that is displayed in the AIM window). Actual Results: Some contacts are randomly duplicated (usually the raw contact info is dupliated - nick name = screen name). Expected Results: The contact's alias should be updated and all other contacts should remain unchanged. bash-2.05b# emerge -p kopete These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

this is a known kopete bug, nothing we can help: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62607
Editing the kopete contact list (~/.kde3.1/share/apps/kopete/contactlist.xml) and/or deleting kopete's directory (file:/home/eric/.kde3.1/share/apps/kopete/) won't fix the situation either. This file must not be the *authoritative* contact list because changes to this file are _partly_ effective.
