From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030103 Description of problem: 8.0 shipped with gaim-0.59.1-2 (epoch=1) phoebe (1st public beta) shipped with 0.59-11 (epoch=1) In rpm terms 0.59-11 is older than 0.59.1-2
This would explain why Bug 70349 (re-filed as Bug 81661) is back. We should upgrade to 0.59.8 which fixes the text display bug and many others.
please mark this as a duplicate of bug 81586
This is not a duplicate of bug 81586 , because this bug is about an rpm numbering problem, which must be fixed before 8.1 is released. Upgrading gaim to be based on a later upstream version need not happen before 8.1, though it would be a sensible way of fixing this bug, particularly since bug 81661 implies the phoebe version is based on older code than was in 8.0.
*** Bug 82700 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Rawhide now has gaim-0.59.8-0.
Rawhide gaim is now newer than 8.0 gaim in rpm terms (and also I believe in software terms) so I am closing this bug.
