Public bug reported:
I've upgraded to Hardy and it came with pidgin 2.4.1. Pidgin no longer
starts. When you click on an icon it flashes for a split second in the
notification area of GNOME panel and goes away. If I run it from
terminal with -d switch it crashes with following "final words":
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
(12:31:56) Session Management: ICE initialized.
(12:31:56) Session Management: Connecting with no previous ID
(12:31:56) Session Management: Handling new ICE connection...
(12:31:56) done.
(12:31:56) Session Management: Connected to manager (GnomeSM) with client ID

(12:31:56) Session Management: Using pidgin as command
(12:31:56) dbus: Need to register an object with the dbus subsystem. (If you
are not a developer, please ignore this message.)
(12:31:56) dbus: The signal "gtkblist-unhiding" caused some dbus error. (If you
are not a developer, please ignore this message.)
(12:31:56) signals: Signal data for account-error-changed not found!
pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol:
purple_account_get_current_error
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've also noticed the following:
I can delete .purple/accounts.xml file and pidgin will start and will
ask me to add new accounts. At that point, I can add my accounts and
pidgin appears to be working fine until I close it and try to open it
again. Then it fails with the same errors.
Deleting the entire .purple folder causes the same results as deleting
just accounts.xml file
finch (terminal window alternative to pidgin) works fine with all of my
settings (not that I am necessarily enjoy using IM in a terminal window.
;-)
