Please backport Pidgin 2.5.0-0ubuntu2 from Intrepid to Hardy

[Iain Lane]

b/i/r.

libpurple's rdepends all build fine. Tested a couple of pidgin's rdepends (-guifications and -otr) and they both work well.

New MSN features are very handy.

Please don't add useless comments. This is not a forum, and this bug has already been triaged. Adding additional "+1" comments simply increases the amount of bugmail received by those working on a solution, which just increases the workload and slows the process down.

If your intention is to show support for the bug, you may wish to subscribe so you can track its progress.

Approved for backporting. Thanks.

[Michael Adams (madams)]

Pidgin has recently updated to version 2.5.1 to fix a bug with the MSN support. Maybe backport that as able?

[Hew (hew)]

Pidgin 2.5.1 cannot be backported yet as it doesn't exist in Intrepid (bug 263612).
