> Bug description:
> On July 1, 2008, ICQ bumped the required protocol version to connect to its
> servers, thus breaking some third-party IM applications. This bug is for the
> problems in pidgin. Users affected by this bug will see the message "The
> client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at
> http://pidgin.im/" and be unable to use ICQ. This bug affects any version
> of libpurple released before today (effectively anything before the as-yet
> unreleased 2.4.3).
>
> The bug has been fixed upstream (
> http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/c892c8d32fc7cbd65214d7314584e2ccb9f24563),
> and a fix is pending sponsorship for intrepid in version 2.4.2-2ubuntu3.
>
> TEST CASE: Using the old version, try to connect to any ICQ account with
> pidgin, and observe the above error message in the main window. With a fixed
> package, connecting should work fine again.
>
> I see no potential for regression, besides ICQ changing the version string
> back to what it was after the fix is pushed, which is rather unlikely.
> Moreover, ICQ is entirely unusable for libpurple users at the minute, so
> there is already a severe regression from expected behaviour.
