EveryBuddy crash after auto-connect to Yahoo & ICQ

I caused an everybuddy crash this past week by adding both ICQ and Yahoo
autoconnect. I added both ICQ and Yahoo information to EveryBuddy settings.
Rather than testing this first (an intelligent idea,) I then told EveryBuddy
to automattically log on all my IDs at the same time. The program crashed
with a message about a server, but never specifies which one.

Uninstall and reinstalling the woody stable debs didn't help. I was unsuccessful
in finding any .conf file that helped.

The woody 'unstable' deb file seems to work fine, however. Not only launching
the ap, but also connecting fine to both Yahoo and AIM. (It seems to have
lost the configuration changes I made when adding my ICQ stuff, however.)
Newbies may want to read the specifics below.

(Please note that these instructions worked for a standard Debian Woody installation
and apt (Advanced Package Tool.) Apt can also be set up for Red-Hat, Suse,
Conectiva and other RPM-based distros, but I presonally haven't tested it.
Using netselect as I've done here made it easier to find the fastest deb
mirror, rather than manually editing /etc/apt/sources.list)

- Open a terminal (Eterm is my favourite.)

- Change to root (su, enter, then password)

- cd /etc/apt/

- mv sources.list sources.stable.bak (this just backs up the original.)

- netselect-apt unstable (this generates a new sources.list of unstable
packages)

- apt-get update (this updates the database to use the new list)

- apt-get install everybuddy (should say installing or upgrading and
list a version #)

- mv -vf sources.stable.bak sources.list (so you're future apt installs
aren't 'unstable')

- apt-get update.

I don't know if this will help anybody but me, but it's the first solution
I found.
