Title:
  Empathy doesn't work well after update; user should be warned

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  After Empathy was updated the other day (to 2.32.1-0ubuntu1), I found
  that some operations, such as importing accounts from Pidgin, failed
  to work. Similarly, I could not create a new Facebook Chat account.

  In both cases, there was no error, simply a silent failure: in the
  case of importing the accounts, having selected the accounts to import
  and clicked "Import" nothing happened; whereas when I tried to create
  a new account, nothing happened when I clicked on "Login".

  Having logged out and back in, everything worked as normal.

  I also installed telepathy-gabble (for Jabber & hence Facebook
  support) while Empathy was running.

  So, it seems that either a) installing protocols while Empathy is
  running or b) updating Empathy while it is running causes problems.

  Of course, I did try restarting Empathy, but this does not restart
  everything.

  Some other programs, like Firefox, do not work properly if they are
  updated while running, but they at least print a warning. It would be
  good if Empathy at least did this, and of course even better if it
  could be fixed.
