licq can't connect

[Matthias]

Binary package hint: licq

When trying to connect to the icq network with licq 1.3.5 (i.e. the current version) an error "unknown sign-on error: 0x1c" is raised and connection fails.
The error is known and an upstream patch exists:

This bug is probably related to similar problems in other icq clients (e.g. bug #244591)

Paclkage: licq
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

[Christian Fiedler (vanion)]

Bug is confirmed. There is an patch at the licq homepage.

This was fixed in intrepid and jaunty, it only is an issue in Hardy and earlier.

ACK.

The 18 month support period for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 has reached its end of life -

Gutsy task.

[Matthias (linux-matthiasfirner)]

Fixed in 8.10 and later (confirmed in Intrepid and Karmic).

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. The version of Ubuntu referenced in this issue has reached end of life, and the issue is fixed in newer versions of Ubuntu. Therefore, I am closing the Dapper task.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:

Hardy has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the Hardy task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
