Pidgin no longer connects to ICQ

[kraemera]

The version of Pidgin in the Dell Mini repositories no longer connects to ICQ. Fix already available in the standard Hardy repositories.

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1093013

Please provide an update for Dell Mini.

Fixed in upstream 2.5.5.

Specifically:

    * Fix retrieval of status messages from users of ICQ 6.x, Miranda, and other libpurple clients. (Daniel Ljungborg)
    * Change client ID to match ICQ Basic 14.34.3096. This fixes publishing of buddy icons and available messages.
    * Properly publish status messages for statuses other than Available. ICQ 6.x users can now see these status messages. (Daniel Ljungborg)
    * Fix receipt of messages from the mobile client Slick. (David Jedelsky)

Marked as duplicate of #340151. Patch released for Jaunty all the way down to Gutsy. and it should be straightforward to apply it to the custom Hardy for the mini.
