Comment 4 for bug 887104

The updates can be applied also to oneiric, and an updated package can be built as follows:

mkdir tmpmsn
cd tmpmsn/
apt-get source libmsn
sudo apt-get build-dep libmsn
wget http://libmsn.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libmsn/trunk/msn/soap.cpp?revision=121
wget http://libmsn.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libmsn/trunk/msn/soap.h?revision=121
mv soap.cpp\?revision\=121 libmsn-4.1/msn/soap.cpp
mv soap.h\?revision\=121 libmsn-4.1/msn/soap.h
cd libmsn-4.1/
dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i libmsn0.3_4.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb

Start kopete and it connects.

Next upgrade will overwrite it, so one can hold the package
sudo aptitude hold libmsn0.3

Holding can be avoided if the version number was changed in libmsn-4.1/debian/changelog (like I actually did).
