Package: pidgin Version: 2.5.5-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
This version of Pidgin simply hangs for me at startup. Occasionally I have observed the GUI come up but be unresponsive after waiting a very long time. Most of the time I get nothing. I tried removing all plugins I had installed for it and I moved my .purple directory out of the way and started it again with the same result. I normally use pidgin with XMPP and Yahoo IM, but with a blank .purple config, I don't think this has much to do with it. Running 'pidgin -d' gives: (09:03:51) prefs: Reading /home/tim/.purple/prefs.xml (09:03:51) prefs: Reading /etc/purple/prefs.xml (09:03:51) dbus: okkk (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/cap.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/convcolors.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/extplacement.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/gestures.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/gevolution.so (09:03:51) plugins: /usr/lib/pidgin/gevolution.so is not loadable: libedata-book-1.2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/gtkbuddynote.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/history.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/iconaway.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/markerline.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/musicmessaging.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/notify.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/pidginrc.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/sendbutton.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/spellchk.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/ticker.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/timestamp.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/timestamp_format.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/pidgin/xmppconsole.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/autoaccept.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/buddynote.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/dbus-example.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/idle.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/joinpart.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/libaim.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/libbonjour.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/libgg.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/libicq.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/libirc.so (09:03:51) plugins: probing /usr/lib/purple-2/libjabber.so (09:03:51) plugins: /usr/lib/purple-2/libjabber.so is not usable because the 'purple_init_plugin' symbol could not be found.
