Package: telepathy-gabble Version: 0.16.1-1 I think this is the same problem I have. I tried three different jabber server of which I know they have valid certificates and other jabber clients validate them just fine, but telepathy-gabble always gives me this error that the certificate is self-signed. Tested with empathy and telepathy-kde.
I did enable telepathy-gabble logging, but couldn't find anything wrong in the logs. I seems to load system certificates from /etc/ssl/certs/ca- certificates.crt fine, but somehow is unable to validate the server certificate. I tried searching for this problem on the internet, but all I found was this bug report or some people complaining about what seems to be the same problem on some Ubuntu forums. I also tried searching the upstream bugzilla, but couldn't find anything relevant. So for me this looks a bit strange. It seems like only people from Debian or Ubuntu are affected, but I couldn't find any effort to track this down. So either there is something special about Debian (and Ubuntu) that triggers this bug only there or nobody tried it on other distributions or everybody just enabled the ignore ssl errors flag (which IMHO is a bad thing to do). I also tried building the upstream git version of telepathy-gabble, but it has the same problem for me. For me this very much looks like an upstream bug, however I wonder why this hasn't been noticed and reported anywhere then. So I will open an upstream bug about this issue soon, unless someone convinces me this is a Debian specific problem. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.4-trunk-rt-amd64 Debian Release: wheezy/sid 500 testing security.debian.org 500 testing mirror.stusta.mhn.de 500 testing ftp.de.debian.org 1 experimental mirror.stusta.mhn.de --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =====================================-+-=============== libc6 (>= 2.7) | libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.1.1) | libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.88) | libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.8) | libgnutls26 (>= 2.12.17-0) | libnice10 (>= 0.1.0) | libsoup2.4-1 (>= 2.4.0) | libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.5.9) | libtelepathy-glib0 (>= 0.18.0) | libxml2 (>= 2.7.4) | Package's Recommends field is empty.
