Binary package hint: pidgin
Starting today (July 1, 2008) I'm unable to connect to ICQ. I get the following error message:
"The client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at http://pidgin.im/"
If I click the "Re-enable" button, I just get the same message again a second later.
ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: amd64
Date: Tue Jul 1 11:35:15 2008
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04
ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/pidgin
NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
Package: pidgin 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2
PackageArchitecture: amd64
ProcEnviron:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
SHELL=/bin/bash
SourcePackage: pidgin
Uname: Linux 2.6.24-19-generic x86_64 |
On July 1, 2008, ICQ bumped the required protocol version to connect to its servers, thus breaking some third-party IM applications. This bug is for the problems in pidgin. Users affected by this bug will see the message "The client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at http://pidgin.im/" and be unable to use ICQ. This bug affects any version of libpurple released before today (effectively anything before the as-yet unreleased 2.4.3).
The bug has been fixed upstream (http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/c892c8d32fc7cbd65214d7314584e2ccb9f24563), and a fix is pending sponsorship for intrepid in version 2.4.2-2ubuntu3.
TEST CASE: Using the old version, try to connect to any ICQ account with pidgin, and observe the above error message in the main window. With a fixed package, connecting should work fine again.
I see no potential for regression, besides ICQ changing the version string back to what it was after the fix is pushed, which is rather unlikely. Moreover, ICQ is entirely unusable for libpurple users at the minute, so there is already a severe regression from expected behaviour. |
