Description Rahul Sundaram 2008-07-02 01:51:05 UTC

Description of problem:

Pidgin doesn't work with ICQ very well now and upstream has recommended that
users apply the patch at 

http://www.pidgin.im/pidgin-2.4.2-icq6.patch as seen in the frontpage of
http://pidgin.im. 

Can you folks apply the patch till upstream does a new release? There has been a
few users asking in the forums about this problem already.

pidgin.im isn't very accessible right now, it might help if you attach a copy of
the patch here

Comment 2 Rahul Sundaram 2008-07-02 05:42:45 UTC

Newer versions of pidgin are being built. Just wait for a while and you would be
able to get a updated package.

I've tested the new pidgin version for F8 from:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=54498
and ICQ works again.

It would be great if the new packages for F8 and F9 could be pushed to updates
soon... ;-) Thanks in advance!

Could someone create an update for 'normal' users, who don't know anything about
koji? Thanks.

Comment 5 Marcela Mašláňová 2008-07-04 13:16:27 UTC

Ooops sorry, it looks fixed with pidgin-2.4.3-1.fc9 update.
