Comment 9 for bug 993989

Ah, thanks a lot for posting this!

However, I couldn't apply this workaround successfully on Ubuntu: I had libsasl2-2 already installed, and adding libgsasl7, too, also made no difference. Or would I need to re-install pidgin for this to take effect?
Have you succeeded in applying this fix in Ubuntu? If so, how?

Thanks again for sharing this! In any case, I hope it brings some developer on the right track.
