Update to pidgin 2.7.7 to fix login issues in MSN and ICQ
Last modified: 2010-12-09 16:19:13 UTC
Pidgin fails to connect to MSN because something changed in MSN server's certificate chain: "" Unable to validate certificate The certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid. "" This problem is already fixed in Pidgin 2.7.6: - Included Microsoft Internet Authority 2010 and Microsoft Secure Server Authority 2010 intermediate CA certificates to our bundle. This fixes the "Unable to validate certificate" error for omega.contacts.msn.com.
I prepared the updated to 2.7.6 in home:leonardocf:branches:GNOME:Apps/pidgin. I'll test it now and do a submit request later if it works fine.
It would be nice to backport the fix for 11.3 it's broken there and users may not want to add GNOME:Apps repository.
Luis, I agree. I'll prepare and test the package. Maintenance Team, please, can we release a pidgin update for 11.2 and 11.3? This is the upstream patch that we will need to include: http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/diff/20a05505e63a6e1e155e3bdb22773eb839eaf830/with/cd236baf6d00f3e1561a40974ce1828b793ea187
FYI: The update for G:A has already happened.
Dominique, what do you mean? GNOME:Apps/pidgin still contains 2.7.5. Anyway, I just tested the updated package in my branch and it works. May I submit it for your review or I just wasted my time on this?
you can submit your review, no problem. But there is already another request pending in review currently... maybe yours is better though :)
OK. Submitted against GNOME:Apps (request id 53776). I believe the only difference from yours is the reference to this bug report.
The SWAMPID for this issue is 37344. This issue was rated as important. Please submit fixed packages until 2010-11-30. Also create a patchinfo file using this link: https://swamp.suse.de/webswamp/wf/37344
important for our msn users ... update started.
I guess we should wait a bit see http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/12906 Looks like pidgin 2.7.6 still have some problems with this issue.
Which repo can we get pidgin 2.7.6 from, for opensuse11.2?
Ok pidgin 2.7.7 is out and it really fixes this problem. I think it's important to submit and update for 11.3 Maintenance team are you ok with updating pidgin to 2.7.7 on 11.3 and also try to get #655675 done too ? This might take a bit more in order to fix the icq bug.
Absolutely, yes, It's urgent.
So please , can the pidgin maintainer submit the new pdigin? :)
Leonardo or Dominic , I am asking you :) submit for 11.1 , 11.2 and 11.3 against :Update

Luis, can you please submit to openSUSE:11.3:Update:Test (and openSUSE:11.2:Update:Test and openSUSE:11.1:Update:Test )?

The certificate chain presented is invalid. So I visit the https://omega.contacts.msn.com and get the new certificates, I found it's different to the two in your link. Does the MS change it again?
Dirk, sorry for taking so long, SR's done for 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3. Thanks
GNOME:Apps for openSUSE_11.3+GNOME_STABLE_2.32 is already shipping pidgin 2.7.7 From where should the package come?
i created patchinfos. @alexandre: we need them via the regular update repos.
Changing the summary so we can track the MSN and ICQ issues together (since they are both fixed by the 2.7.7 update, according to upstream).

Be so kind and submit the fixed version against openSUSE:11.{1,2,3}:Update:Test
