Description Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2010-09-29 14:25:30 UTC

I'm getting following error when trying to connect to a msn account with empathy:

Please report this to upstream since it shouldn't be a hard depend as can be read in NEWS file:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Telepathy

Let's just make it a hard depend, libproxy will be a dep of glib 2.26 anyway.

Btw, building with -libproxy doesn't disable proxy support, it just doesn't depend on libproxy, but if its installed, it will be used.

Which version of libproxy do you have installed ?

Comment 5 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2010-09-29 17:20:49 UTC

versions of libproxy <0.4.2 are known to be broken...

Comment 6 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

I updated ebuild to require newer one, then, I guess he is using 0.4.2 (that is the only 0.4 version in portage... if anybody want to help on bug #333189 any help is highly appreciated :-))

Comment 7 Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2010-09-29 17:27:22 UTC

> Which version of libproxy do you have installed ?

net-libs/libproxy-0.4.2
USE="gnome networkmanager perl python webkit xulrunner -debug -kde -vala"

Comment 8 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Btw, if you build with -libproxy but happen to have the python bindings of an older version, it will break. So we probably want !<libproxy-0.4.2

It also breaks with =libproxy-0.4.2 (with USE=-libproxy)

+  libproxy RDEPEND is not really optional as reported in bug #339127 by
