Fair enough.

Well, I now propose the severity "serious", since the package can
exist without libqca2-plugin-ossl. So, steps to reproduce are:

sudo aptitude purge libqca2-plugin-ossl
choqok
- Try to add Twitter, and observe the crash

Solution: libqca2-plugin-ossl should be a dependency for choqok.

Naturally, there may be an error I have caused; if so, please let me know.

Thanks.
