=========================

I tried to browse to my couchdb via firefox using the link provided in that output, here is what showed up:

=========================

{"error":"badmatch","reason":"deddb8eb1e48811dfbaef67189e5c3e373e2a9c650864eb7ba1004821962e8949a8ea08fa4a0138920782875e814c2b02e98b499"}

=========================

I tried to purge gwibber and reinstall, no change at all, tried to update to the nightly build, no change at all, tried to reinstall everything couchdb in my system, no changes. Gwibber was working fine for a day or so after dist upgrade, then just began to fail.

Running Lucid with all updates.

I experience the above mentioned bugs aswell as:

Clicking 'Set Up Broadcast Account...' via the main icon on the taskbar does nothing, as does 'Broadcast Accounts...' when clicking user name on the taskbar.
