Bug 87485 – Kopete has troubles with ICQ/AIM when user names contain spaces

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Merc 2005-03-31 17:13:01 UTC]

When user names contain spaces, Kopete has troubles.  For me, this was most obvious in that people with spaces in their names sent me messages, but I didn't receive them.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sign on to Kopete with an AIM account
2. Have a buddy with a space in his/her account name send you a message
3. Cry because you didn't receive the message

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
The message should have been received.

Fixed ebuild for kopete 3.4.0

I would have named it kopete-3.4.0_p1.ebuild, but apparently that messes up the
dependencies.  Oh well, it works!  Some gentoo KDE build guru can fixificate.

Patch to fix space issues for AIM/ICQ

This is based off the patches from the KDE bugzilla:

BTW, this is fixed upstream in KDE CVS, but I don't know how long it will take to get those fixes into a Gentoo ebuild.  Hopefully this will tide people over until then.

Fixed in kdenetwork-3.4.0-r1/kopete-3.4.0-r1.
