Bug 462106

Summary:	net-im/pidgin-2.10.7 - Installation with sasl USE flag breaks libirc functionality.
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	Matthew <logical.zero>
Component:	Current packages	Assignee:	Gentoo Net-im project <net-im>
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE
Severity:	normal	CC:	logical.zero

Description Matthew 2013-03-17 22:07:54 UTC

If enabling the `sasl` use flag when emerging pidgin, pidgin's IRC functionality ceases to function. Current recorded IRC accounts are marked as type "Unknown" and IRC is removed from the list of available account types.

gdb'ing pidgin reveals the following line:
plugins: /usr/lib64/purple-2/libirc.so is not loadable: undefined symbol: sasl_client_step

This seems to be a similar issue reported for Debian: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=701541

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge pidgin with the sasl USE flag
2. start pidgin
3. attempt to create an IRC account / use an existing IRC account
Actual Results:  
IRC accounts with pidgin are unusable and not recognized by Pidgin

Expected Results:  
IRC accounts with pidgin should be useable and createable

Recently upgraded kernel to 3.7.10, Gentoo sources 13

emerge --info pidgin

Comment 2 Matthew 2013-03-17 22:17:58 UTC

Something I forgot to mention: If you emerge again without `sasl`, IRC accounts are useable again.
