>Description:
Since this day (July 1) Pidgin refuses to connect to ICQ with message "The client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at http://pidgin.im/". It seems to be a common problem among many ICQ clients.

Until pidgin's developers will fix the issue, there is a short patch to make it work.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start pidgin, try to connect to an ICQ account.
>Fix:
At ubuntu bugtracker (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/244591/) there is a patch to libpurple, which fixes it. Just copy the attached file to /usr/ports/net-im/libpurple/files/ and reinstall libpurple.
