** 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.

+ === 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.
