Bug Description

[Impact]
Bug #1018504 - Fixed in upstream, backported by upstream to stable release (see content below)
It seems an upstream issue with google contacts not being displayed is potential in stable release due to a race condition
[Test Case]
-setup a google talk account
-make sure contacts load
[Regression Potential]
None expected as other than the race condition bug the fixes are minor build related issues.

FROM UPSTREAM EMAIL:
I strongly suggest to distributions shipping GNOME 3.4 to update to this
version ASAP as it fixes a nasty race preventing GTalk contacts to be
loaded.

Empathy doesn't display buddy list for a xmpp (gtalk) or AIM account. See the screenshot.

Command line Output:

(empathy:6530): folks-WARNING **: Failed to find primary PersonaStore with type ID 'eds' and ID 'system'.
Individuals will not be linked properly and creating new links between Personas will not work.
The configured primary PersonaStore's backend may not be installed. If you are unsure, check with your distribution.

Hello Nicholas, or anyone else affected,

Accepted telepathy-glib into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-glib/0.18.2-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
