[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#511596: empathy: won't connect to (at least) gtalk

[Ivan Vučica]

Package: empathy
Version: 0.23.3-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I have installed empathy, launched it, and created a Google Talk account. 
Switching from Offline to Online (or any other status) produced no visible
effect. I have also tried adding a Jabber account instead of Google Talk
account to no avail.

I have just installed the packages apt selected upon being directed to install
empathy. I have just finished downloading version from experimental and will
test that one, and report back to you. I hope I didn't assign too large
severity to the bug; fact stands, I cannot connect to Gtalk and package is 
unusable to me.
