F8: latest pidgin update broken?

2008-06-12 Thread Niels Weber
Hi all,

with the latest F8 pidgin update, pidgin always crashes after a few
seconds of running. It claims that it tries to dump a core but I
couldn't find that so far.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,
   Niels

A bug report with a stack trace would be useful.

Sure, but if no one else has this problem, it likely is something tied
to this machine. As pidgin is completely unusable for me in the
current state, I guess no one else has this problem.

Does it even make sense to create a stack trace without a core dump?

Thanks for your reply,

I would assume others would have complained if it was a common issue. 
Nevertheless it should still be fixed if it is a bug in Pidgin.

Sure although more information is helpful.

Ok, I'll try getting it to crash in gdb. So far, it seems to be a
Heisenbug though. :(

I now got a lead at the problem. It seems I have a leftover avahi
package back from F7 that won't uninstall. How to get rid of that? It
tells me that %postun fails.

# rpm -q avahi
avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7
avahi-0.6.21-8.fc8
