Cannot connect to Gadu-Gadu network

[Artur Gajowy]

Binary package hint: pidgin

Just tried to connect to GG network [after providing correct account information].

Pidgin shows that my status is available for a while, then informs that it disconnected [can't read socket]. While it thiks I'm still available it gives the option to download buddylist, however it doesn't work.

Bug occurs both on 2.5.0 [downloaded with synaptic after enabling backport updates] and 2.4.? [1, as far as i remember - the one to which hardy is able to update with backport updates and pre-released updates turned on]

Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1

I guess it's an upstream bug, see: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6270

Same with 9.04 alpha 4

[Luke Faraone (lfaraone)]

This fix needs to be backported from 2.5.4.

[Jakub Argasiński (argasek)]

Why not just include 2.5.4 in Jaunty? The list of bugfixes to various protocols (MSN, QQ, ICQ, Jabber...) is large enough: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ChangeLog

[Jakub Argasiński (argasek)]

According to #316636 Jaunty now includes 2.5.4, so this bug should probably closed (at least for Jaunty).
