Creating Skype account crashes Pidgin

[Federico]

I installed pidgin-skype package, it was successfully installed. Then I opened Pidgin and tried to create a new account by pressing Ctrl+A to enter the Account Manager Dialog, I clicked on Add and put my account id, but when I clicked Add in the New Account Dialog Pidgin just crashed.

I'm on Lubuntu Utopic Unicorn, the package is pidgin 1:2.10.9-0ubuntu4.

I use Lubuntu Vivid, so I am afraid I cannot provide the details you are
requesting.

Even so, I want to thank you for consider my report of this bug.
