duplicate private messages from IRC users

[Matt Behrens]

Binary package hint: telepathy-idle

This might be related to the fact that I have two IRC accounts set up in empathy, but I have been getting duplicate and out-of-order messages from NickServ (NickServ exists on both servers) and other users of IRC servers (who do not exist on both servers) since I started testing lucid.

Not sure if this is telepathy-idle's fault specifically, but my AIM contacts seem not to exhibit this behavior, nor do the IRC chat rooms themselves.

Example from NickServ when signing on to two servers:

- Friday January 01 2010, 14:38 -
NickServ: This nickname is owned by someone else
NickServ: If this is your nickname, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
NickServ: This nickname is owned by someone else
NickServ: If this is your nickname, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
NickServ: This nickname is owned by someone else
NickServ: If this is your nickname, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
NickServ: This nickname is owned by someone else

and in another tab:

- Friday January 01 2010, 14:38 -
NickServ: This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your
NickServ: nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password. Otherwise,
NickServ: please choose a different nick.
NickServ: If you do not change within one minute, I will change your nick.
NickServ: Password accepted - you are now recognized.
NickServ: Password accepted - you are now recognized.
NickServ: If you do not change within one minute, I will change your nick.
NickServ: please choose a different nick.
NickServ: nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password. Otherwise,
NickServ: This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your

Of particular note on the second tab: the "If you do not change within one minute" messages are only present on one of the two servers I use.

This might be related to bug #388504, possibly. However, I have not seen anyone mislabelled.

I'm not able to comment on this bug anymore. I had a hardware failure on my lucid system so I'm unfortunately out of testing for now.

Hopefully someone can confirm, if this bug in fact still exists. Otherwise I will revisit it when I am again able to test.

is it still a problem ?
