[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Bug#921095: gajim: traceback when starting gajim: got an unexpected keyword argument 'lang'

[Jamie McClelland]

Package: gajim
Version: 1.1.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to gajim 1.1.2, I received a traceback when starting
gajim. Gajim started, but was unable to connect to any servers.

The problem went away with this change:
