Monty Python and the Holy Grail - The final grail quest castle scene - John Cleese is playing the Videolan admin.Has anyone found who is the admin for trac.videolan.org and how to contact them ?
Now that you are able to login to the trac system could you post a bug in the trac reporting system reporting that many peoples accounts have been broken and reference this thread.I was able to complete the setup just now. I registered a new account using my old username and a different email address than the one that seemed to be caught in the trac.videolan.org system.
Thanks for doing this. It looks like they have replied to your bug report but are not recognising the problem as still existing. THEY ARE WRONG.
What I would be interested to know: is your new account, now being associated with the old email address, also associated with your previous bug reports, comments etc.? Or is this still a new, "empty" account that just happens to share the email address with your old, still separate account?Then in the new account profile I updated the email address to my primary email address (the one that had been stuck before), and it worked - I received a second confirmation email, this time to the just-requested-to-change-to original email address, verified there, and done.
My new(ly recovered) account is fully the same as my old account. I didn't lose any of my old bug reports, etc.What I would be interested to know: is your new account, now being associated with the old email address, also associated with your previous bug reports, comments etc.?

That sounds promising. I have tried the same with a new account. (Note the name was different from my old account.)My new(ly recovered) account is fully the same as my old account.

This workaround has worked for me, too. But it seems important to confirm the second email address with the confirmation email before switching back to the primary email address. Otherwise, I havn't received a confirmation email for the primary email address.I was able to complete the setup just now. I registered a new account using my old username and a different email address than the one that seemed to be caught in the trac.videolan.org system.
I received the welcome/confirmation email at that secondary email address and completed the verification.

It *shouldn't* work this way, because if my primary email address was really in use in the system then it shouldn't have allowed my new account to try to change to that address, but I guess because of exactly how data got out-of-sync in the system, it did. Maybe this will work for someone else, too.
