Gwibber throws an exception on Mandriva Cooker on First Startup

[Shlomi Fish]

When I run gwibber from the Konsole command-line on KDE on Mandriva Cooker, it prompts me for the GNOME keyring password , and then I'm getting this output and gwibber won't start:

BTW, why does urpmi'ing gwibber on Mandriva also requires one to install various Erlang packages? Is Erlang required to run gwibber?

[Vadim Rutkovsky (roignac)]

Erlang is required for desktop-couch, which is used in Gwibber to convert previous installations to sqllite.
