jabber: Treat empty <group/> elements as "Buddies", not "" This ultimately led to duplicates in the list, because we had one entry in the GSList as "", and one as NULL, both of which are invalid group names, which resulted in the core blithely replacing them with "Buddies" and generating duplicates. I've tested with and without, and can reproduce the issues without the change. Log: <item subscription='both' name='person' jid='[e-mail]'><group></group><group></group></item> (19:32:23) jabber: jabber_roster_parse(): Removing [e-mail] from group 'Buddies' on the local list (19:32:23) GLib: g_string_append: assertion `val != NULL' failed (19:32:23) jabber: jabber_roster_parse(): Adding [e-mail] to groups: , (19:32:23) g_log: purple_find_group: assertion `(name != NULL) && (*name != '\0')' failed (19:32:23) g_log: purple_group_new: assertion `name != NULL' failed (19:32:23) g_log: purple_blist_add_group: assertion `group != NULL' failed (19:32:23) g_log: purple_find_group: assertion `(name != NULL) && (*name != '\0')' failed (19:32:23) g_log: purple_group_new: assertion `*name != '\0'' failed (19:32:23) g_log: purple_blist_add_group: assertion `group != NULL' failed Since I had to look it up, purple_blist_add_buddy replaces (group == NULL) with "Buddies".
