Public bug reported:
The recent security update to precise's telepathy-idle package
(0.1.11-2ubuntu0.1) adds strict checking for SSL certificates, as seen
in upstream's 0.1.15 release. However, the patch doesn't add any UI to
accept non-trusted certificates, making the IRC transport unusable
against servers using self-signed certificates.
This is a _massive_ regression, with an easy fix available in the form
of 0.1.16, which does add the required UI.
Debian's 0.1.16-1 package makes sure the upstream code doesn't require
the latest and greatest glib, making a backport trivial.
Please fetch the upstream patch and Debian's addition to ease the
backport to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Jordi
