[Bug 88649] gaim 2.0beta6: all chat logs silenty deleted!

[Fionn]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gaim


During the upgrade from beta5 to beta6 or shortly after, some bug must have cause the complete deletion of all files and subdiretories in my .gaim folder. This is a potentially disastrous bug. I found out two or three days later merely by chance because I was searching for an URL I sent to someone the other week and nothing was found anymore. Thank god I had a backup and lost only a few days of log. Not everybody might be lucky like me.

I am absolutely sure to not have deleted the files myself because prior
to the all-problematic upgrade to 2.0beta6 (see also bug 88647) I never
opened the .gaim folder or even messed around there in any way.

** Affects: gaim (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
