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