Description Michał Ochman 2008-02-12 22:05:18 UTC
After emerging Pidgin, I wanted to add an account. Unfortunatelly a protocol list is empty, so I cannot do that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to manage account.
2. Add account.
3. Look at protocol list.
Actual Results:  
No protocols to select from.

Expected Results:  
See protocols to select from.

Pidgin USE flags are as follows:
USE="dbus gadu gstreamer gtk ncurses nls perl sasl spell -bonjour -debug -doc -eds -gnutls -groupwise -meanwhile -networkmanager -prediction -qq -silc -tcl -tk -zephyr"

Additionally, this problem also exists in 2.2.1 (stable) and 2.2.2.

This segfault occured after trying to add an account without protocol selected (because there were no one).

After removing all files connected to libpurple and pidgin, and then reemerging Pidgin, problem with empty protocol list disappeared and Pidgin seems to work correctly.
I thought about "ABI version mismatch 2.3.x (need 2.1.x)" and i realised, that last version of Pidgin I used was 2.1.x. I suppose old libs were not deleted when unmerging Pidgin and caused this issue.
The question is: Why emerging new version of Pidgin, these files were not overwritten by a new ones?

Anyway, thanks for help.
Comment 6 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-13 16:58:44 UTC
They should have been overwritten, I have no idea what could have caused that (disk full maybe?)...

I have no idea, disk had a lot of free space when emerging. Pidgin compiled from source (found on pidgin.im, not from portage) worked perfectly.

I am marking this bug as closed (and also I have changed resolution to invalid.)
