Hey there! I have just uploaded an NMU for Pidgin which fixes a login issue with MSN which occurred after Microsoft changed the application ID that the client needs to send in order to be able to retrieve the contact list. The current version of Pidgin in Jessie no longer allows users to sign on to MSN which makes the MSN part of Pidgin unusable. I have therefore deemed this bug to be release-critical, tagged it as such, made the NMU and am requesting an unblock now. Please find the attached debdiff for the changes of my NMU. Cheers, Adrian unblock pidgin/2.10.10-1.1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (99, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
