I don't seem to have any problems with 1.0.3-5, and I use it almost daily.
Anyone have the .debs for 1.0.3-5? I *really* want a functioning licq...

dpkg -l shows:

ii  licq           1.0.4.cvs.2002 ICQ clone (base files)
ii  licq-plugin-kd 1.0.4.cvs.2002 Graphical front-end plugin for LICQ
using Qt
kyoder@bean:~$ licq
10:20:02: [WRN] Licq: Ignoring stale lockfile (pid 10324)
10:20:02: [ERR] Unable to load plugin (qt-gui):
/usr/lib/licq/licq_qt-gui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory.

So I try to install licq-plugin-qt2 (I assume this is the right one?) and
get:
Selecting previously deselected package licq-plugin-qt2.
dpkg: regarding licq-plugin-qt2_1.0.4.cvs.20020521-1_i386.deb containing

Errors were encountered while processing:
 licq-plugin-qt2_1.0.4.cvs.20020521-1_i386.deb

So CVS version can't even be installed. I tried manually copying
licq_qt-gui.so to /usr/lib/licq, but then licq segfaults on opening

As for the stable version, it complains and exits if I have no ~/.licq. If I
try to use my ~/.licq from 1.0.3-5, it complains about the syntax and exits.

So basically the currently available .debs for licq are unusable for me.
