Package: pidgin Version: 2.14.8-2 Severity: grave Tags: upstream Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, It seems 2.14.6 introduced a bug where Pidgin crashes when the user types somethign longer than the visible number of lines - not always, but often. This has been reported upstream here: https://issues.imfreedom.org/issue/PIDGIN-17568 However, due to the Debian perl 5.34 transition (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2022/02/msg00000.html), downgrading to the previous package - 2.14.1 - isn't particularly feasible. Upstream is in fact working on a fix it seems to be a weird race condition in creating scrollbars. In the meantime, rebuilding a version from < 2.14.6 would prevent this bug from hitting testing/stable users. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages pidgin depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.36.0-3 ii libc6 2.33-7 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-5 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.20-4 ii libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 2.42.6+dfsg-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.70.4-1 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 1.20.0-2 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.20.0-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.33-2 ii libgtkspell0 2.0.16-1.3 ii libice6 2:1.0.10-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.50.4+ds-1 ii libpurple0 2.14.8-2 ii libsm6 2:1.2.3-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.7.2-2+b1 ii libxss1 1:1.2.3-1 ii perl-base [perlapi-5.34.0] 5.34.0-3 ii pidgin-data 2.14.8-2 Versions of packages pidgin recommends: ii gstreamer1.0-alsa 1.20.0-2 ii gstreamer1.0-libav 1.20.0-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 1.20.0-2 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.20.0-2 ii gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio 1.20.0-2 ii sensible-utils 0.0.17 Versions of packages pidgin suggests: ii libsqlite3-0 3.37.2-2 -- no debconf information
