[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#788552: empathy: Cannot add any account

[David Demelier]

Package: empathy
Version: 3.12.7-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to use empathy on Debian 8.

When I try to add an account, I have the following question "What kind of chat
account do you have?" with an empty combobox. I just can't do nothing.

A friend of mine which is a GNOME developer said that mixing GNOME application
versions may lead to errors. In Debian 8 we have GNOME 3.14 but some
applications are still deprecated (evolution is 3.12, empathy too).

Please see attached, the screenshot.
