Package: pidgin-facebookchat
Version: 1.60-1.1
Severity: important
I had a group called "CdE" in my buddy list, with a couple of buddies from
different networks. Maybe also some from Facebookchat before the plugin
would support importing the lists from facebook.
In Facebook, I had created a list called "CDE". The name similarity is not
a coincidence, it's the same intrinsic grouping.
At some point, the facebookchat plugin started *duplicating* buddies.
Of some facebook friends I had several dozen "copies" in Pidgin, which
caused this group to at some point hit 5000 and more buddies. My assumption
is that something like the following happens:
- Facebookchat loads the buddy list from Facebook
- For each buddy, it tries to check if the buddy is already present, but it
does this check in the wrong group - "CdE".
- Since it didn't find the buddy there, it adds it, but with the group set
to "CDE". There already was a buddy with that user name in this group.
This might be fixed in r640 upstream. It at least reads similar.
