Package: emesene
Version: 1.6.3-1
Severity: grave
Tags: squeeze
Justification: renders package unusable
"There have been some changes in Live Messenger servers which broke most of
unofficial Live Messenger clients." (upstream announcement)
Unfortunately, the workaround and the patch proposed in #648027 can't be
applied to emesene 1.6.3, which is the current version for stable.
However, replacing "contacts.msn.com" by "local-bay.contacts.msn.com" in the
following files solves the problem:
- /usr/share/emesene/emesenelib/soap/templates.py
- /usr/share/emesene/emesenelib/soap/requests.py
After making those changes, emesene 1.6.3 is able to connect again.
I'm not familiar with the code, and therefore I'm not sure if the solution
could be achieved by replacing only some instances of the string instead of
doing a global replace. I've changed all of them and can confirm that it worked
for me.
I'm submitting a patch for your consideration.
