[Ekiga-list] Ekiga stopped working

[Zachary Zelinski]

When I remove lipt-1.10.0 and reinstall from the ekiga download site, and do
the same with libopal-2.2, ekiga works, but then my package manager wants to
upgrade libpt from 1.10.7 to 1.10.10. After doing so, I get that same
message about not finding the right library. Wouldn't this have something to
do with Ekiga referencing a specific library version, and if so, is it
possible for me to somehow change the reference to use the latest libpt
version?
