KCheckGmail version is broken needs to be updated to version 0.5.4

The logging in and checking of Gmail in KCheckGmail is broken in version 0.5.0 which is in Hoary. This needs a version bump to version 0.5.4 which fixes the problem.

According to the Debian bug found and the changelog, the breezy version is ok but it should be uploaded to hoary-updates too.

Can anyone confirm the breezy version is good?

Unfortunately, this probably wont make hoary-updates (we don't really have the time to go around updating packages in every distribution, especially in universe were we are limited in manpower just to handle the current release, and it is technically more for bugs like data loss, etc)

I am using Breezy Bager version of Kubuntu and I can confirm that KCheckGmail is still broken. It will not allow one to check there Gmail account. The Error returned is that either the password or username is incorrect. Personally I think the problem is in the way KCheckGmail stores the password. I think it truncates the password to three letters and this breaks the log in to Gmail.
