[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#652422: empathy: Special characters in password seem to be the reason

[Alexander Schmidt]

Package: empathy
Version: 3.4.2.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #652422

After some trying I found out that storing the password fails due to special characters in the password.

My old password started with a dollar sign. I removed the dollar sign from my password and now everything is working as expected. The password is correctly stored in the keyring and empathy is logging in to the jabber-server after logging in and out again.
