[Bug 637002] [NEW] Facebook chat fails, where it worked in 10.04

[Frode Egeland]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Facebook chat in Empathy now fails with a "Network Error", where the
same account settings worked perfectly fine in 10.04.

I did a tcpdump, and all that happens is a DNS lookup to _xmpp-
client._tcp.chat.facebook.com, which returns a CNAME to
chat.facebook.com

Here is the dump:
--- start of dump ---
.5..........._xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com..!...5..........._xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com..!.................#.......<.7.glb01.sf2p.tfbnw.net.hostmaster.#...t..*0......:....<
--- end of dump ---

This is all that appears to happen, so something is not working as it should.
On my system, the dns query for that name returns:
$ host _xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com is an alias for chat.facebook.com.
chat.facebook.com has address 69.63.181.105

So DNS is working.
