icq version 5.1. is no longer supported. how to get an update for PIDGIN?

[sue]

I received this message:
=============================
         System Message
=============================
ICQ version 5.1 is no longer supported. Download a free authorized ICQ version from ICQ's official website.

And I wonder why there is no automatic update. Do I have to install the new pidgin version or anything else?
Right now I'm using Pidgin 2.4.2.
I didn't find a way to replace the ICQ plugin either. Please could you tell me what to do?
I want to use it again as fast as possible. Sorry if the answer is too simple, I'm not very familiar with that stuff.
Thanks a lot!
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04

Confirming based on duplicates. This seems to affect 2.5.3 in Jaunty now too. I'll check if this is known upstream when I get home from work later, unless someone else would like to do that?

this is not dublicate of #319547 ... text with @5.1@ - "icq version 5.1. is no longer supported" was issued in 2008 year .. and already fixed ...

According to xoco, this particular problem was fixed, so I'm closing it
