Hello!
Since yesterday evening, the Kopete version in sarge is no longer able
to log into MSN Messenger accounts due to (it seems) an update in the
Microsoft servers.
Bug #309745 arrived to the Debian BTS this morning making us aware of
the problem, and in the afternoon we were informed that a bugfix was
available from upstream's SVN.
We've uploaded kdenetwork 3.3.2-4 to sid a while ago, containing a
backport to the 3.3 branch of KDE of the upstream fix, and we would
like to see this version shipped with Sarge if possible.
Sorry for making this request so close to the deadline for bugfixes at
severity important, but please take into account that the problem has
only existed for little longer than 24 hours now.
The changelog entry follows, and the diff is about 900 lines including
an update to a Makefile.in file. There's then a lot of code deleted that
gets substituted by two files copied from the long-existing project
KMess.
Thanks for considering.
kdenetwork (4:3.3.2-4) unstable; urgency=high
* Urgency high for sarge targetted fixes of bugs at severity important.
+++ Changes by Adeodato Simó:
* Kopete is now able again to log into MSN Messenger accounts, after the
latest change in the Microsoft servers yesterday. (Closes: #309745)
Backported patch from upstream 3.4 SVN branch that introduces a new login
handler stolen from KMess. Enabled nofinal for kopete/protocols/msn, since
otherwise it won't compile.
* As a result of the above new login handler, Kopete is now able to log into
MSN Messenger accounts with Hotmail or MSN addresses that have a non-.com
TLD (e.g., hotmail.co.uk), which closes: #306845. (The patch at upstream
bug #96304 is now obsolete.)

And don't get me wrong - I don't mind getting proven wrong. I change my
opinions the way some people change underwear. And I think that's ok.
