Description Jacob Hunt 2011-03-01 15:11:02 UTC
The bug has been reported here, and is fixed:

http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/13298

Can this be back-ported to supply a fix for RHEL 6

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 01:59:31 UTC
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-06 01:29:49 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.

propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 20 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:54:44 UTC
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Patch file for pidgin bug 13298 adapted for el6

Following patch based off the one in the pidgin bug report and adapted to fit onto the sources as supplied by pidgin-2.7.9-5.el6.2.src.rpm

I had to rework hunk 1 to fit onto the RH sources but hunks 2 & 3 applied without modification. Will also upload the spec file I used with mock to rebuild this.
