[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#586099: telepathy-mission-control-5: backslashes in accounts.cfg get doubled, repeatedly

[Simon McVittie]

Package: telepathy-mission-control-5
Version: 5.5.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: release-critical in maintainer's opinion
Tags: upstream
Forwarded: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28557

If a connection manager parameter's value contains '\', the number of '\' is
doubled every time accounts.cfg is written. Similar corruption will occur
for parameters containing newline or tab.

This bug does not exist in 5.4.x, and will be fixed for the 5.5.x branch
in 5.5.2.

If this bug has caused your accounts.cfg to become extremely large,
see the upstream bug for details of how to recover:
