Description Gregor Petrin 2009-01-08 09:34:08 UTC
Version:           KDE: 4.1.87 (KDE 4.1.87 (KDE 4.2 >= 20090101)) "release 3.1"; Kopete: 0.60.81 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I already have a MSN account on my primary identity, then I created another identity and added an additional MSN account to it. Now when I try connecting to this new MSN account for the first time, kopete crashes and outputs this into the console:

kopete: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kde4/kopete_wlm.so: undefined symbol: _ZN3MSN28NotificationServerConnection15setFriendlyNameESsb

This second MSN account has a few contacts that are already present in the first MSN account (which is offline), after a brief pause (during which the account status is 'connecting') the contact list starts to get updated but then everything crashes. I tried upgrading kopete and adding the kopete-devel package, but neither the problem goes away nor do I get additional debug information.
Comment 1 Gregor Petrin 2009-01-08 10:03:37 UTC
I tried one more thing: I removed my original MSN account from kopete, to remove  the possibility of any contact conflicts, but it still crashes when I connect to the second account (though old contacts could perhaps theoretically still be cached somewhere despite being deleted, so I guess a conflict is not completely ruled out).

If any developer needs it for testing, I am willing to give them the credentials to the problematic MSN account - I don't use it very much anyhow.

This is a bad library mismatch between the available libmsn on your system and the one used to compile Kopete.
Please report the issue to your distro (openSUSE).

Please see on my attachment file. I cannot log-in to MSN account.
