Perhaps this has something to do with an invalid certificate? I just found this on google: http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=2731 In short, the guy there suggests that some certificate is outdated and installing the current one fixed the problem for him. $ uname -a Linux xxx 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.10 pidgin version 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1 -- pidgin complaining about msn ssl certificate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319099 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
