Bug#309745: kopete can't connect to MSN anymore due to an upgrade in MSN servers

[Cesar Martinez Izquierdo <listas@ono.com>]

Package: kopete
Version: 4:3.3.2-3
Severity: normal

Hello, Kopete is not able to connect to MSN anymore because the MSN servers
were upgraded and the new authentication method is not compatible with Kopete.
See http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105929 for more info.

I guess that even if upstream solves it in a couple of days, it won't be
backported to Debian on time for Sarge. But at least it should be documented
somewhere, so that kopete users doesn't get crazy trying to connect to
MSN (the error reported by kopete is "the password is wrong", which is quite
misleading).

Regards,

  Cesar
