Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin-skype
When installing pidgin-skype, it didn't install skype (though available
through the partner repo) automatically.
Having copied my ~/.purple folder from a backup, coming from an
installation where I already had skype installed, the plugin would be
active in pidgin's configuration and, thus, try to start `skype`, which
doesn't exist. As a result, pidgin segfaults.
Corresponding debug output:
(01:26:00) account: Connecting to account el_tiax.
(01:26:00) connection: Connecting. gc = 0x908d540
(01:26:00) GLib: GError set over the top of a previous GError or
uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL
before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Kindprozess »skype« konnte nicht
ausgeführt werden (No such file or directory)
Segmentation fault
The most obvious solution would be to make pidgin-skype depend on skype.
