Can't unlink metacontact

[Jay S]

Binary package hint: empathy

Empathy 2.32.0, Ubuntu Maverick 10.10

After linking two contacts, I am unable to unlink them. Right-clicking the metacontact, then clicking "Link contacts...", then "Unlink..." in the Link Contacts window, then "Unlink" in the confirmation window gives no notice that the unlinking was unsuccessful, but the contacts remains linked.

the bug is still valid. :)

The corresponding GNOME bug shows that it's intended behavior. I was misinterpreting what was happening -- the contacts were actually linked automatically because they were the same contact ID under different user accounts.

I have the same problem.

So someone, or some group, decided that this behavior is supposed to be the default behavior and nobody can deviate ? I fail to see the sense in not having this behavior as an option instead of forcing it down our throat.
