Kopete looses MSN account settings on dist uprade

[John Doe]

Hi folks,

Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

Installed: 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2

While migrating from 8.10 to 9.04, kopete "lost" the MSN account settings. The other settings (ICQ and Gtalk) where kept intact.

Looking at the ~/.kde/share/config/kopeterc I can see the settings are still part of the file but the software does not recognise them.

I guess it is related to the change of the plugins name to WLM Messenger

Some new evidence:

The WLM Messenger accounts use the following section header

[<email address hidden>]

While the old MSN accounts use

[<email address hidden>]

(Kopete lives in the kdenetwork source package. The standalone package hasn't been used since Feisty.)

Thank you for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190070

Closing as per upstream indication.
