I can confirm that this is happening to me as well with the Kopete 4.12.0-1 update. I turned off the OTR plugin and now Kopete works again but with no encryption so that is no fix. When I turn OTR back on Kopete crashes the moment I send a message to someone. This must have something to do with Kopete 4.11.4-1 using OTR 3 and Kopete 4.12.0-1 using OTR 4. I am using the x86_64 Kopete 4.12.0-1 package.

Very same setup and symptoms here too, just to mention that you guys are not the only one suffering from this bug.

Fix not being applied upstream until January 9th (4.12.1), patch details at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328999 or the actual patch file at http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=84367

I would assume this will not be pulled downstream until 4.12.1 (around the 9th) when it's released upstream? Or will you be releasing a pkgrel ie 4.12.0-2 with the fix for kopete only? Just curious as (see below) I compiled the fix as 4.12.0-2 so just going to keep an eye out if you guys release it to just reinstall lol. Can also provide any further info if needed.

I applied the patch to the source manually and makepkg'd kopete then pacman -U and works fantastic, made a post about it via https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1366111#p1366111

This will be fixed in 4.12.1-1 package if either they apply it to git before or after the tagging. The key point is they apply them to git; then we can apply it to our PKGBUILD.

Gaetan,
please apply this upstream patch to libotr to fix Kopete segfault.

Sure. I've pushed libotr-4.0.0-3 to [testing]; feel free to close this report when you confirm that kopete is alright.

I now have Kopete 4.12.0-1 and libotr 4.0.0-5 from Extra installed and have OTR turned on. I can confirm they are working perfectly. No more crashing. This bug is fixed for me. You can close this bug report as far as I'm concerned. Thank You!
