[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#687605: video call between squeeze and wheezy crashes/freezes on squeeze

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: empathy
Version: 3.4.2.3-1+build1
Severity: important

I have multiple hosts, some running squeeze and some running wheezy

squeeze hosts have empathy version 2.30.3-1 and they can call each other
successfully

wheezy hosts have 3.4.2.3-1+build1 and they can call each other successfully

However, if I try to make a video call from a squeeze host to a wheezy
host (or vice versa), the empathy process on the squeeze host becomes
frozen.

I am not familiar with the architecture of empathy/gnome, please tell me
what log files or debugging output to collect and I will be happy to
contribute anything I can to support troubleshooting the issue.

I can confirm this happens on every attempt to call, it is not just an
intermittent issue.
