Package: pidgin Version: 2.5.5-1 Severity: normal This is very bad. :-(
I can't seem to fire up pidgin anymore (well, for some time, actually, but only now I decided to report it). It just segfaults upon startup and here is the backtrace: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - rbr...@chagas:~/.purple$ gdb pidgin GNU gdb 6.8-debian Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Is there any way to avoid it? I'm desperate to get in touch with some people and I don't know what to do. I'm even considering changing to another messenger, but I don't know which one. Thank you very much for any help, Rogério Brito. P.S.: Yes, I tried moving my .purple directory out of the way, just in case, but it didn't help. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-rc6-2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.utf-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pidgin depends on: ii gconf2 2.24.0-7 GNOME configuration database syste ii libatk1.0-0 1.24.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.9-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.6-2+b1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.80-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.0-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.22-3 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.14.7-5 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkspell0 2.0.13-2 a spell-checking addon for GTK's T ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.0-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpurple0 2.5.5-1 multi-protocol instant messaging l ii libsm6 2:1.1.0-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii perl 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.10.0] 5.10.0-19 minimal Perl system ii pidgin-data 2.5.5-1 multi-protocol instant messaging c Versions of packages pidgin recommends: ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.22-5 GStreamer plugins from the "base" ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.14-2 GStreamer plugins from the "good" Versions of packages pidgin suggests: pn evolution-data-server <none> (no description available) pn gnome-panel | kdebase-workspa <none> (no description available) ii libsqlite3-0 3.6.12-1 SQLite 3 shared library -- no debconf information -- Rogério Brito : rbr...@{mackenzie,ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
