Unable to launch gajim: KeyError: 'avatar_sha'

Versions

  • OS: Debian buster - flatpak
  • Gajim version: 1.3.0

Steps to reproduce the problem

Not sure exactly how to reproduce, but this seems related to bug with a gateway icon issue. When using it it's fine, but gajim doesn't want to launch next time.

Expected behavior

Launch gajim.

Actual behavior

Empty window and:
