Description of problem: Empathy will not connect to ICQ networks, displays 'Network Error' message. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : empathy Arch : x86_64 Version : 2.28.2 Release : 2.fc12 Name : telepathy-haze Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.3.1 Release : 3.fc12 Name : libpurple Arch : x86_64 Version : 2.6.5 Release : 1.fc12 How reproducible: Every time I open Empathy Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Empathy 2. Attempt to login to ICQ/AIM 3. Get 'Network Error' Actual results: Cannot login to ICQ/AIM Expected results: Login to ICQ/AIM should work Additional info: It's noted in #pidgin on FreeNode people having problem with ICQ/AIM to uncheck Use clientLogin. Empathy does not provide this option, to enable/disable. Thus cannot confirm if this solution would resolve the problems.

Any idea what to do with this one? Upstream bug is closed as OBSOLETE (I guess because they are marching towards version 2.30). In case 2.28.x is obsolete, which one is supported? Can we have that one?
This bug is a usage-stopper for people with many icq contacts so it should be fixed ASAP
I thought I fix it by installing empathy-2.29.91.1 so I rebuilt that one and it still was not working. But interestingly it started working yesterday at the same time I installed updates from updates-testing. Can libpurple-2.6.6-2.fc12 be the "suspect"?
I can confirm this. After updating to libpurple-2.6.6-2.fc12 connecting to icq with empathy works again.
