CentOS/Scientific Linux 6.5 users PLEASE NOTE: EPEL6 packages are built against RHEL6.6. Due to an incompatible glib2 change this package will not work for you until you upgrade to 6.6

Dear no@email.com: are you sure your RHEL6 installation is up-to-date? According to the build logs, e.g. https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/pidgin-sipe/1.18.4/1.el6/data/logs/i686/root.log RHEL6 packages are built against "glib2 2.28.8-4.el6" which has g_slist_free_full.
See also glib "Index of new symbols in 2.28" https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/api-index-2-28.html
A fully up-to-date CentOS 6.5 installation has glib2-2.26.1; which would not have g_slist_free_full. See here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/updates/x86_64/Packages/glib2-2.26.1-7.el6_5.x86_64.rpm. This is a valid EL6 installation, no?

EPEL6 packages are compiled against the latest RHEL 6 release, which in the case for 1.18.4 is RHEL 6.6 (release 13-Oct-2014), see ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Workstation/en/os/SRPMS/glib2-2.28.8-4.el6.src.rpm. So yes, the EPEL6 package pidgin-sipe-1.18.4 will not work on CentOS/Scientific Linux 6.5.
Sure, but that seems to fly in the face of this EPEL policy: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#Are_EPEL_packages_available_only_for_RHEL_or_also_for_compatible_derivatives.3F. Also, since it is not that hard to replace this call (g_slist_free_full), why not just do it?

I do not control EPEL and I can't force EPEL builds to downgrade certain libraries. IMHO you should raise this issue with EPEL folks, i.e. that EPEL builds should not switch RHEL releases until CentOS/Scientific Linux updates are released. I'll try to a response myself from IRC.
However, on further thought, I suppose this policy doesn't account for cases where a RHEL release (6.6) doesn't have a compatible CentOS release yet (only up to 6.5).

OK, that makes sense.
