Bug 141639 – Gaim-1.5.0-Bug which removes ICQ-Buddies on moving to another group

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description René 'Necoro' Neumann 2006-07-24 15:23:01 UTC]

Gaim-1.5 (and also 2.0.0beta3) has a bug which removes ICQ-Contacts when they are moved from one group to another.
This is because the oscar-protocol does not allow one contact to be twice in the list. That's why it gets:

Reproducable: Always
Steps: 
1.) Have at least two groups and one icq-contact in one of the groups.
2.) Move the contact from group a) to group b)
3.) You get an error msg like "Could not add the buddy %s for an unknown reason.  The most common reason for this is that you have the maximum number of allowed buddies in your buddy list." (where %s is the UIN of the contact)
4.) Contact is moved in the contact list.
5.) On next launch of gaim it is gone.

Remarks: 
- This is fixed in the current svn-version.
- I've written patches - I'll append them.

Patch for 1.5.0 which removes the bug described above. This patches src/protocols/oscar/ssi.c

As 1.5.0 and 2.0.0_beta3 have a somewhat different structure, I've done two different patches.

Ehm ... I submitted this patches so long ago ... but nobody seems to be interested ... why?

It's not a lack of interest in the patches, at least in my case. I've been without a system for maintaining (note the amt of gaim bugs not getting taken care of lately) and I assume the rest of net-im has been quite busy handling their own packages. Anyway, I am in the process now of installing on a new system, so as soon as that is finished I'll get to looking at the patches and adding them.
