Package: libpurple0
Version: 2.3.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
During server-side buddylist import over OSCAR, libpurple converts all
group names from the local encoding (CP1250 in my case) to UTF-8.
However, all ICQ clients - Pidgin included! - save those names in UTF-8.
I am sending a patch that changes the behavior to first check if the
group name is valid UTF-8; use it if it is, and convert it if it is not.
