FYI - the cause of the problem was a typo in the file. There was a "-" where there was supposed to be a "=".
For example, having an entry with: <buddy alias="John Doe" screenname-"jdoeaesp...@example.com"/> would cause pidgin to sefault while importing the list. The correct line should read: <buddy alias="John Doe" screenname="jdoeaesp...@example.com"/> This was a user error. However, the list handler should throw an error about bad syntax instead of crashing pidgin. Or at least Pidgin should handle the list handler crash more elegantly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/826146 Title: Importing an XML file with List Handler causes a segfault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/826146/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
