The bizarre thing is, grabbing the matching source using 'apt-get source empathy' and checking the debian/rules file shows that empathy is compiled against libgoa-1.0-dev, but `apt-cache depends empathy | grep goa` shows nothing. Ubuntu release: 11.10 Package versions: empathy 3.2.0.1-0ubuntu1.1 libgoa-1.0-0 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 Expected behavior: Google Talk accounts set up in Online Accounts are automatically picked up by Empathy Actual behavior: No such account set up. I verified that goa-daemon *is* running: $ ps ux | grep goa | grep daemon michel 2173 0.0 0.6 324140 13748 ?
