 Hello everybody! I'm using gentoo 2007, then I installed pidgin via
 emerge. I installed also a lot of related plugin such as pidgin-latex
 pidgin-otr pidgin-hotkeys pidgin-extprefs and so on. For a long time
 everything worked properly. Last week I updated pidgin via emerge, but
 when i try to open the plugin manager (or press CTRL+U equally) pidgin
 crashes for a segmentation fault.

 This is what gdb return me when run gdb pidgin

Comment:

 This backtrace is incomplete.  You will need to rebuild Pidgin's
 dependencies with debugging symbols and reproduce the crash.  This should
 have been reported to Gentoo anyway, not to us.
