Bug Description

After kubuntu upgrade (to 13.10) otr plugin in psi+ stopped working.

Now I receive this message every time somebody with otr writes me:
[12.11.2013 14:43:57] <email address hidden> ?OTRv23?
<email address hidden>/Laptop has requested an Off-the-Record private conversation <http://otr.cypherpunks.ca/>. However, you do not have a plugin to support that.
See http://otr.cypherpunks.ca/ for more information.

Both me and my friend have plugins, furthermore all worked well before upgrade.

I already wrote about this problem to otr developers, but here is their answer, may be this helps you

=================== Answer ===================
The above message is indeed malformed. It contains a sender instance of
0, which is not allowed. Sounds to me like the psi+ otr plugin isn't
implementing the create_instag callback properly? Or else you somehow
have an instag file that explicitly contains a 0?
