Thanks for your report Alex,

Indeed birdie segfault just after entering your login/password.

This is an upstream knows issue but there is no yet upstream patch to fix it, look at:

https://github.com/birdieapp/birdie/issues/90

So seems that upstream works now on a new version (2.0) of birdie and go to switch all the code to a python code and also drop the vala code:

http://www.birdieapp.eu/2014/10/26/birdie-2-status.html

I can fix this issue as soon as upstream comes out his new 2.0 release.

If you look at Fedora's package they have drop birdie since Fedora 22 due to a same segfault issue.

Since this package is unmaintained upstream and seems dead I removed it from Cauldron.

Closing of this as WONTFIX as I can't fix this issue and package was removed for mga6 now.

Feel free to reopen if needed!
