Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pidgin

MSN chat in Pidgin 2.6.1 (karmic) is completely borked.  Pidgin
apparently has an extreme timeout bug with the MSN switchboard server
that closes the chat connection after a very short period of time,
leading to random 'cannot send message' errors in a MSN chat.

It's been reported upstream at 
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10150
and
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/9986

This is a huge regression in 2.6.1 from 2.5.8, so I vote that we remove
2.6.1 from karmic, and replace it with 2.5.8.  Either that, or remove
Pidgin from karmic completely, as there's no point in having a buggy
chat client that has these serious regressions.

** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu)
