[solved] new pidgin severely broken

the newest version from pidgin is severely broken. It segfaults everytime i start it. i tried removing .purple and it seemed to start ok, but then i added the oldest blist.xml and accounts.xml and it segfaults again, so it's not because of broken plugins...

i'm not willing to configure everything by hand now, can anyone help?

Re: [solved] new pidgin severely broken

I'm having no issues with Pidgin, but you can try to downgrade to the previous version, if you haven't cleared your cache.
Check into /var/cache/pacman/pkg and see if you find it, then install it with pacman using the -U flag.

Other than that, if you want to fix the issue, I suggest to run pidgin from the command line to get some debug information (the -d flag is useful, too).

Re: [solved] new pidgin severely broken

i regularly clean my cache, sometimes i wish i wouldn't...

anyways, i ran with -d and it worked, but that's because i'm running from a reboot... I don't know why is this, but it's better now...
thank you
