Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pidgin

I am using Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10, pidgin 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1

I get the folowing error when I try to connect to my yahoo account.

Could not establish a connection with the server:
Access denied: HTTP proxy server forbids port 5050 tunneling.

I am forced to connect through proxy, the campus network doesn't allow 
otherwise.
It used to work ok in Ubuntu 8.04, except of course for the common buddy icons 
problem.

Thanks

PS. I'd use the 'Report a Problem' feature, but I'm guessing it also
doesn't work because of the proxy.
