gossip: segfault with "add contact"
Last modified: 2007-05-30 18:59:06 UTC
I got this in debians bugtracking system: ackage: gossip Version: 0.24-2 Severity: normal Still my regular setup, one salut and one gabble account, but the gabble account is not connected due to being offline, salut is connected. Go to Chat > Add Contact... and use the account chooser to chose the salut account. It is already selected since it's the only account that is online, but this step is still necessary. At the point you left the Contact entry field there should be a label "Information requested, please wait...". Now, just click "Add". gossip segfaults with this stack trace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Thanks for the bug report. As announced [1] yesterday we have decided to remove the Telepathy backend and go back to our initial goal of becoming a Jabber/XMPP client. As this bug is related to the Telepathy backend we will close it as obsolete as the code will no longer live in our code repository. If you want to continue to use a Telepathy client we suggest you take a look at the Gossip fork Empathy [2].
