Bug Description

Binary package hint: gaim

Distri: Ubuntu Feisty
Gaim Version: 1:2.0.0+beta6-0ubuntu2
Language: German

Since the last upgrade gaim is popping up an error message everytime I connect to my ICQ account:

> Kann nicht hinzufügen:
>
> Konnte den Buddy 1 aus unbekannten Gründen nicht
> hinzufügen. Der häufigste Grund dafür ist, daß sie die
> maximale Zahl erlaubter Buddy in ihrer Buddy-Liste
> überschritten haben.

No previous version had this problem, neither with feisty nor edgy.

The English error message is:

Could not add the buddy %s for an unknown reason. The most common reason for this is that you have the maximum number of allowed buddies in your buddy list.

This has been a well known problem with gaim and should be fixed in pidgin. I think about every feisty user should have this problem. It is a major annoyance and a whole lot of people (even a majority?) are affected. Is there a chance for a fix under feisty?

That's like a candidate for feisty though we didn't get many people complaining about it, change on http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/e77ef8075bdbf89f03968faf31355fed84aa168c

This is another (I think well known bug since yesterday for all pidgin clients :-) ) I hope the updates are there asap.

This is another problem - ICQ doesn't allow some old clients anymore.
