** Description changed: - Binary package hint: pidgin + When attempting to connect to MSN, Pidgin fails to load the contact + list, citing an issue with the SSL certificate of + omega.contacts.msn.com. This happened due to Microsoft renewing both the + omega.contacts.msn.com certificate, as well as their certification + authority certificate "Microsoft Secure Server Authority". Hence, the + certificate in /usr/share/purple/ca- + certs/Microsoft_Secure_Server_Authority.pem is outdated. - Hello. It seems that microsoft did some changes + In addition, the transition from the old to the new certificate is not + complete, only half-done, so a simple workaround of updating the + certificate would not work. Both the old and new certificates have to be + included. Debdiffs for natty and maverick are attached. - http://blog.andreineculau.com/2010/11/pidgin-and-msn-certificate-error- - for-omega-contacts-msn-com/ - - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 - Package: pidgin 1:2.7.3-1ubuntu3.1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.40-generic 2.6.35.7 - Uname: Linux 2.6.35-23-generic i686 - Architecture: i386 - Date: Thu Nov 18 14:53:34 2010 - ProcEnviron: - LANG=fi_FI.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: pidgin + TEST CASE: + 1.
