** Description changed: + === SRU === + + 0) Description: AOL recently sold ICQ, as a result of this change the + ICQ login server got changed from login.oscar.aol.com to login.icq.com. + Kopete needs to be updated to support this change and allow users to use + the ICQ service. + + 1) Impact: Every user who wishes to use Kopete with ICQ will currently + get an error message on login because the old login server does not + exist anymore. This applies to all new as well as existing users. + + 2) The bug has been resolved upstream by replacing all occurances of the + old login server address with the new one [1]. Additionally existing + kopete configuration files (of existing users) will be updated + accordingly using a kconf_update script [2]. The changes will be landing + in 11.04 along with at least KDE 4.6. + + 3) Patches for Karmic, Lucid and Maverick are attached + + 4) How to reproduce the issue: + - Create an ICQ account or make sure the right login credentials of an existing one are known to you + - Open Kopete + - Configure an ICQ account + - Try connecting to the newly created account + - Note how an error will prevent you from login, while the ICQ web client works just fine + (same applies to existing accounts, just that they only need to connect) + + - With the patch applied, connecting should work without errors, given + correct login data were provided. + + 5) No known regression potential exists. + + [1] http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1197797 + [2] http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1197954 + + === Original Report === + Binary package hint: kdenetwork Since a few days the ICQ plugin of kopete is unusable because it contains a hard-coded server name that is not valid any more. This issue has already been fixed upstream: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257008#c8 Please provide a fixed package because this seems to affect a lot of users.
