 |
|
Pidgin crashes when started with any Perl plugin active. This started to happen after I upgraded to Perl 5.16.x ... which was a long time ago (and I admit I was too lazy to report it at that time). I did report it upstream (https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/15377) - they said they don't know about any issue with Pidgin and Perl 5.16.x. Then I tested on an OpenSuse live CD with Perl 5.16.3 and it worked. So this seems to be related to Gentoo (most probably to some particular setting when building Perl or Pidgin with Perl support).
I'd like to know if anyone else has this issue. A simple way to test is to add a simple Perl plugin (that doesn't do anything) such as:
| Code: |
use Purple;
our %PLUGIN_INFO = (
perl_api_version => 2,
name => "test",
load => "test"
);
sub test() {
}
|
Save the code into a file under ~/.purple/plugins say ... ~/.purple/plugins/test.pl and restart Pidgin and activate the plugin. It should crash either now either when restarting it after the plugin activation ...
Another plugin example can be downloaded from here http://gitorious.org/libpurple-kwallet-plugin/libpurple-kwallet-plugin/blobs/master/libpurple_kwallet_plugin.pl - it saves the Pidgin accounts passwords into KWallet. It is the reason I want Pidgin Perl plugins to work - this plugin is useful to me (... should also mention that I've written it myself). To get it just do
| Code: |
cd ~/.purple/plugins && wget http://gitorious.org/libpurple-kwallet-plugin/libpurple-kwallet-plugin/blobs/master/libpurple_kwallet_plugin.pl
|
and restart Pidgin. Activate the plugin and it should crash (or on the next Pidgin restart) ...
I have Pidgin 2.10.7-r1 installed and the relevant log messages when starting it are

Hi, user. We need to talk.
I think something's gone wrong here. It's probably my fault.
No, really, it's not you... it's me... no no no, I think we get along well
it's just that.... well, I want to see other people. I... what?!? NO! I
haven't been cheating on you!! How many times do you want me to tell you?! And
for the last time, it's just a rash!
Aborted

The rest of the log (including a backtrace) can be found in the file I attached to the bug reported upstream https://developer.pidgin.im/attachment/ticket/15377/pidgin-backtrace.log. Nothing seems to have changed ever since.
Thanks in advance!

In that case add:
>dev-lang/perl-5.16.2-r1 to /etc/portage/package.mask
Compile that version of perl, test the module, if it fails, lower the version number in package.mask and repeat. It looks as if you've found a regression bug. Use the version numbers from Gentoo Pakages - Perl.
Try out your offending module, with every version of perl until the module works. Make note of the version in which the module stops working, and then file a bug titled Versions >=<offending version> cause module <module-name> to crash and file it on our bugzilla, since the upstream developers of pidgin claim they have no issues... Make sure it's assigned to perl@gentoo.org

Right, I can confirm that it works with perl-5.12.5 (didn't test 5.14.x as they were hard-masked). Reported the bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475454, will test some more perl versions if the bug assignee needs it. Thanks!
PS: sorry, didn't know how to assign the bug to perl@gentoo.org ... and I don't thing I used the correct way of adding the bug (only later got to the guided interface) |
