This issue: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/MSNCertIssue still occurs with pidgin-2.7.6 if it is built with USE=gnutls but not if it is built with USE=-gnutls Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install pidgin-2.7.6 with USE=gnutls 2. Add and enable an MSN account 3. The SSL certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com is reported to be invalid and you are not able to log on to this account (on very rare occasion, you will be allowed, but actions such as adding a friend or reconnecting to the account will cause the error). Is it necessary for me to post pidgin's debug log?
A new version of Pidgin has been released, 2.7.7. From the Pidgin wiki (http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/MSNCertIssue): In Pidgin 2.7.6, we began distributing the additional intermediate certificates that some of MSN's servers are not sending us. Although we thought this was enough, after we released 2.7.6 we discovered that some additional work was necessary. To fix that, we released Pidgin 2.7.7 with what we believe to be a complete fix to the problem.
Fixed in 2.7.7
