Problem calling purple_gnome_proxy_get_info()

[Luis García]

Binary package hint: pidgin

i upgrade to Intrepid. (8.10)
Now, when i try use pidgin for first time, it crashes because dont read the prefences. I tried delete the directoy ~.purple and repeat the steps for create a account. Pidgin crashes while try auth any account. Using 'dmesg' i got this

-----part of my 'dmesg'----

Too i got messages on my ~.xsession-errors. I attached a part of backtrace

[arno_b (arno.b)]

Please, try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash.
(install packages 'pidgin-dbg' and 'gdb' and see here for backtrace https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace)

[Luis García (angelblade)]

The backtrace generated by Pidgin is an attachment http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18222945/error-pidgin

If need a backtrace more specific, i will go the steps

[arno_b (arno.b)]

I fear they need a more detailed backtrace (they will notably appreciate line number). So please try to do what I wrote.

[Luis García (angelblade)]

Ok I added new info about this bug on an attachment

[arno_b (arno.b)]

Ok thx,
Do you have proxy settings?

[arno_b (arno.b)]

I think your problem is explained here:
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/7047 (seems to be down for the moment) or
http://www.nabble.com/-7047:-memory-leak-and-logic-error-in-proxy.c-in-pidgin-2.5.1-td19429403.html.

Should be fixed in 2.5.2.

[Luis García (angelblade)]

Yeah , I use proxy settings :)
I hope the changes soon xD

[Luis García (angelblade)]

Bug Confirmed

Hi, the upstream bug has been fixed in version 2.5.2, which is in Intrepid. Can you confirm the bug is resolved?

[Luis García (angelblade)]

I have Pidgin 2.5.3 and i haven't detected this bug on this version.

[Magnus S (magnuss)]

Ok, it has probably been fixed then.
