using pidgin login now fails with "Login verification down or unavailable"

[[e-mail]]

after upgrading to vivid libmeanwhile plugin no longer works with pidgin always reporting "Login verification down or unavailable".
This is a know bug upstream https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=764584.
The current solution is to use older meanwhile library (not tested but in bug report above)

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 15.04 and Ubuntu 15.10
Package: libmeanwhile1 1.0.2-5

[Franz (franz.pammer)]

Today I have Installed libmeanwhile1_1.0.2-4.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb from 14.04 LTS and now it works!

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Bump, same problem on Ubuntu 15.04 "vivid", libmeanwhile1 1.0.2-5 failed to connect to Sametime server "login verification down or unavailable".

As with @Franz noted this was resolved by using library from 14.04 "trusty", current version 1.0.2-4
http://packages.ubuntu.com/uk/trusty/amd64/libmeanwhile1/download

[Henrik Persson (i-root-fulhack-info)]

Bump. Still an issue, and since I can't login to the official IBM cloud anymore, which I guess can be considered as "official" as far as sametime goes, please revert the changes in libmeanwhile1-1.0.2-5..

[Breno Leitão (breno-leitao)]

This issue is regarding a gcc optimization as described in [1].

I will submit a SRU for xenial. Ubuntu 16.10 should have the fix already.

I still get the same error in Ubuntu 16.04.1. Also installing the newest version from here
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/yakkety/amd64/libmeanwhile1/1.0.2-9
does not help.
But it works when I use the window .exe with wine
