** Description changed:

+ <SRU justification>
+ Impact: Users that use certain amsn-plugins (such as the popular gnotify and msntranslator plugin) can't start amsn. 
+ Resolution: With the help of an upstream developer, amsn's upstream source-code was patched (http://amsn.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/amsn?view=rev&revision=11166). The debdiff is a "backport" of that patch.
+ Patch is available:
+  - https://code.launchpad.net/~petski/ubuntu/jaunty/amsn/amsn-fix-371103 or
+  - attached to comment#19
+ TEST CASE: Install the amsn-plugin "gnotify" or "msntranslator" and try to start amsn. Amsn will crash.
+ </SRU justification>

  Every time I go to launch aMSN after upgrading to Jaunty, aMSN fails to
  launch. Launching from the command line gives me this message:

  I've tried reinstalling aMSN and even tcl and I still get that message.
  
  Here's the output of lsb_release -rd and apt-cache policy amsn if it is of any help.
