Bug 79370 – net-im/gaim-1.1.2 doesn't connect to msn (asks for SSL support)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Guillaume 2005-01-24 11:36:37 UTC]

I just upgraded gaim and when I try to connect to MSN, I get the following message:
toto has been deconnected.
SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install a supported SSL library. See http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq-ssl.php for more information.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch gaim.
2. Try to connect to an MSN account.

Next morning ... after firing up the computer, gaim is again working without problems. I guess it was probably a library conflict problem. Weird.

Note that MSN was also down the other day.  That might have played a factor in things.

[Comment 3 Guillaume 2005-01-27 04:33:36 UTC]

Makes 2 days that I get the same error message, and the MSN network looks fine:

$ ldd /usr/lib/gaim/ssl-gnutls.so 
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libgnutls.so.12 => not found

Mmmmhhh looks like a revdep-rebuild was needed ... fixed !

[Comment 5 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2005-01-27 06:29:41 UTC]

Yes that is a problem with gnutls, for some reason it needs to be built twice and then deps need to be rebuilt.
