Pidgin doesn't work anymore since I upgraded from 22.10 to 23.04 today. I get the following error when I try to open it in Terminal:

*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated

Aborted (core dumped)

If I try to open it from the launcher it doesn't open and I get no error at all. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem? I apparently have version 2.14.12 installed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
