[Bug 1013798] Re: Blink SIP client segfaults with libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3ubuntu0.1

[Joe Petri]

Dear Vedavata, you're welcome ! 
I didn't understand what you meant exactly , i list the commands needed to make blink works again : 

- install libgcrypt11 package, according with your ubuntu version and
system architecture, in my case 64bit lucid ubuntu.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/libgcrypt11/download

another example 32bit precise ubuntu
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i386/libgcrypt11/download

- after you download, install the package by clicking on it or through
terminal command sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb

- next echo libgcrypt11 hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections.

Thats it ! No more steps needed . About the definitive solution on
libgcrypt11 package , we have to wait for blink's team ultimate work as
gdi2k reported on comment #3.

Hope this will be useful for you and you'll have blink working again
following the steps above.

Cheers.

Title:
  Blink SIP client segfaults with libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3ubuntu0.1

Status in “libgcrypt11” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm not sure to which package I should report this, but I use the
  Blink SIP client (http://icanblink.com/) and noticed that it segfaults
  at startup if I have libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3ubuntu0.1 installed, but if I
  force the older version 1.5.0-3 Blink works ok.

  Blink is a Python app and I think I managed to find the line of Python
  code that causes the segfault. The line is 'from gnutls.crypto import
  X509Certificate, X509PrivateKey'. Here is what happens when I run it
  in the Python console:

  Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 20 2012, 22:44:07) 
  [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> from gnutls.crypto import X509Certificate, X509PrivateKey
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  I'm using 12.04, but I originally noticed the issue when I had 11.10
  and the proposed updates enabled. One day there were some updates that
  broke Blink and going through the updates I discovered that reverting
  libgcrypt fixed it.
