    Kopete crash when adding account

    I opened Kopete for the first time on a nearly new system. I added a Yahoo account then click to save... Kopete crashes. I try to open Kopete again and it crashes immediately. I deleted ".kde/share/config/kopeterc" and the program will open again. I tried to add an account for something other than Yahoo and the same crash situation occurs.

    I tried to create a debug report... downloaded all of the debug packages I could find for KDE, but the report is incomplete as follows:

    Application: Kopete (kopete), signal: Segmentation fault
    [KCrash Handler]
    #5 Kopete::Contact::account (this=0x0) at ../../../kopete/libkopete/kopetecontact.cpp:486

    #13 0x0000000000416e54 in _start ()


    kopete_facebook.so and kopete_yahoo.so are ??

    I understand that these *.so files are the plugins. What I also see is the "??" in the incomplete debug info I submitted in my original post here. This tells me that some debug packages are missing to create useful debug info. I've searched for the facebook.so-debug and etc with no success. This is why I was asking for assistance in finding what specific debug packages would create a successful and complete debug report OR a simple fix to why Kopete will not save ANY new account profiles without crashing.

    There are many other options to me than using Kopete, however, I'm sure the developers would appreciate this debug report. I would also like to contribute to a better product. If I'm unable to receive assistance here, I'll simply leave this bug to others and use an alternative program.

    Thank you in advance.

    Kopete works now.

    I never could find any DBG packages to create a full debug report. I created a custom patched kernel "uname- r 2.6.32.4-l505d" with a patch from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=25669 to address ACPI issues.

    I also removed all packages for Kopete and reinstalled with success.

    Thanks for the efforts.
