[Bug 1029416] [NEW] google talk has stopped accepting logins from empathy

[robbie]

Public bug reported:

google talk works from the web but not from empathy. login fail / not
accepting password. system redials every few seconds automatically
notifying me that a password is required, but there is one in the field
- I have since readded the password, to no avail.

Removing the password entirely and then adding it from the plus sign on
the error box in the contact list does not add the password to the
account, even when checked. Adding the password to the account in the
account page and logging in creates a strange situation where the login
never succeeds nor fails, until you turn the account off and back on
again to restart the process. at that point it returns to normal (having
the password, and erroring out).

release 11.10

package: "$ apt-cache policy pkgname
N: Unable to locate package pkgname"

expected: login as usual this morning

happened: network error that does not go away and annoys the heck out of
me with automatic alerts every so often
