Public bug reported:

OS: Ubuntu (MATE) 16.04

Each time I login into pidgin I get this exact warning: "Unable to add
the buddy 1 for an unknown reason."

I'm using ICQ only. This warning appears only once each time pidgin
starts. Other than that warning Pidgin works fine and I have no issues.
During the last years I've been using a radical method to get rid of
that message: I'm removing the message entirely from
libpurple/protocols/oscar/oscar.c (see attached patch).

I thought that maybe you can add a little checkbox to the window to not
make that message appear again? Or something else like an environment
variable or a dotfile that I need touch(1) which silences it at my will.
