Package: pidgin Version: 2.4.3-4lenny5 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line *** When connecting to MSN, Pidgin displays this error message: "Our protocol is not supported by the server." I get this message with the "Use HTTP method" box both checked and unchecked.
It seems Microsoft has updated their MSN protocol, rendering several older clients useless. Unfortunately, this includes the version of pidgin in Lenny. I had a similar issue with Adium, but that was solved by an upgrade to a more recent version. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pidgin depends on: ii gconf2 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5+lenny1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.19-3 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkspell0 2.0.13-1+b1 a spell-checking addon for GTK's T ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpurple0 2.4.3-4lenny5 multi-protocol instant messaging l ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii perl 5.10.0-19lenny2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.10 5.10.0-19lenny2 minimal Perl system ii pidgin-data 2.4.3-4lenny5 multi-protocol instant messaging c Versions of packages pidgin recommends: pn gstreamer0.10-plugins-base <none> (no description available) pn gstreamer0.10-plugins-good <none> (no description available) Versions of packages pidgin suggests: pn evolution-data-server <none> (no description available) ii kicker 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6 desktop panel for KDE ii libsqlite3-0 3.5.9-6 SQLite 3 shared library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
