Accounts Service (accounts-daemon) crashes

For some reason, GDM of my Gnome 3 laptop refuses to startup. I studied the problem a bit and found the following error:

[root@leopardi gdm]# systemctl restart accounts-daemon
[root@leopardi gdm]# journalctl -n

Any ideas, how to fix this?

Re: Accounts Service (accounts-daemon) crashes

As a workaround downgrading to accountsservice-0.6.25-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz (from 0.6.29-1) solved to problem.

Re: Accounts Service (accounts-daemon) crashes

I now have/had the same problem. Downgrading worked. Did you already open a bug?
