Package: gajim
Version: 0.16.5-2
Followup-For: Bug #835472

Dear Maintainer,

the problem is not in gajim and not related to the gajim package update.

The problem is caused by a new version of the python-protobuf package
which affects the python-axolotl package, on which gajim depends:

See

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=835271

and

https://github.com/tgalal/python-axolotl/issues/14

the OP thought it was a gajim issue because both python-protobuf and
gajim packages has been updated recently.

An immediate workaround would be to downgrade to python-protobuf_2.6.1-2
which is still available in the archives:
http://debian.sil.at/debian/pool/main/p/protobuf/

In the bug reports above I also point to a temporary fix for
python-axolotl, the maintainer of that package could apply the patch to
the package until the upstream devs answer about a long term fix.

Ciao ciao,
   Antonio
