Package: pidgin Version: 2.4.1-1+b2 Severity: normal When connecting to my Yahoo account, pidgin warns me that a certain buddy name (chris_trueheart) is invalid. (Interestingly, I don't remember adding that buddy to my buddy list.) However, the copy of my buddy list in ~/.purple doesn't have it listed. I assume that this is simply the server passing me a buddy when pidgin downloads the buddy list.
I think that the server knows better than pidgin what comprises a valid buddy name, so pidgin should not warn when it gets an "invalid" name from the server. Even if it does warn, it should not warn every time I connect to the server, because there is nothing I can do to fix it. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pidgin depends on: ii gconf2 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.19-3 Core GStreamer libraries and elemeii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.9-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkspell0 2.0.10-4 a spell-checking addon for GTK's T
