Package: mcabber Version: 1.0.4-1.1 Severity: normal mcabber queries "disable_random_resource" as a string option rather than a numeric (on/off) option. As a result, both "0" and "1" activate the option, and only the empty string can deactivate it.
In xmpp.c:1858: if (!settings_opt_get("disable_random_resource")) { should be changed to: if (!settings_opt_get_int("disable_random_resource")) { I reported it upstream more than a year ago, but the issue tracker is dead since 2017, maybe a debian patch could be added. https://bitbucket.org/McKael/mcabber-crew/issues/163
