Comment 23 for bug 1574045

If Ubuntu wants their "critical" bug fixed, they make kaccounts-providers conflict with account-plugins. The fact they are refusing to do so is insane, because the whole reason this is a problem in the first place is that apps using accounts-sso will produce duplicate account configuration options if we have duplicates in the profiles dir.

This is the most "not KDE's problem" of any problem ever. We're using an Intel framework for accounts management the way it is intended, as are Canonical, and by design when two messaging providers provide the same service they should conflict one another rather than provide redundant entries that mess up the GUIs.

How is the practicality of adding a KDE specific tag to our provider files and then renaming them with a prefix? I can go dig into the kaccounts-integration code and see if its possible. That doesn't solve the implementation and design problem around accounts-sso that a user of accounts should be loading all the providers it finds to allow third parties to provide account support, but I'm pretty sure we all know nobody is ever going to do that with the state accounts-sso and telepathy are in.
