Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
Summary: I was using pidgin without any problems on my Ubuntu 9.04
64-bit system. Ubuntu did an update of my system as would happen
normally/regularly. I rebooted when requested. After the reboot, Pidgin
refused to start.
The update took place around 18:45 CET on September 18th.
Subsequent inquery revealed the following information:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
$ apt-cache policy pidgin
pidgin:
Installed: 1:2.5.5-1ubuntu8.4
Candidate: 1:2.5.5-1ubuntu8.4
Version table:
*** 1:2.5.5-1ubuntu8.4 0
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages
500 http://security.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1:2.5.5-1ubuntu8 0
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
Expected behaviour: pidgin starting and auto-logging in for my MSN and
GTalk accounts.
What happend: Pidgin crashed.
Investigation of my own:
$ pidgin -v
Pidgin 2.5.5
$ pidgin
Segmentation fault
DEBUG output (after removing hostname and user info and replacing by *'s)
