I can confirm that I am also experiencing the issue, both on my 32bit PC and on my netbook running NBR.

telepathy_butterfly version is 0.5.10-1

No, they are not hidden. Just appear as offline when, in fact, they are online.

I am experiencing this issue.
It happens just with msn contacts. I'm using Empathy 2.30.1 unstable.
After an update on 25th or 26th of May the contacts are shown as permanently offline.
Butterfly error log attached.

norbs, which version of ubuntu are you using? and also if you are not using ubuntu 10.04 can you tell the version of python-papyon with apt-cache policy python-papyon

Using ubuntu 10.04.

python-papyon version 0.4.7-1 from ppa10.04+1

this bug just got fixed upstream

Do you solve it?I have same issue with emesene 2.0

Till now there were no papyon updates to install.
Still waiting.

Norbs, I have build the latest version of papyon with this fix you can get it from my ppa. https://launchpad.net/~om26er/+archive/telepathy

Thank you, this helped me!

This helped me too, Thank you.

just to mention this bug was introduced in papyon 0.4.7 which is not part of lucid. 0.4.8 will be in maverick

the bug was opened before papyon 0.4.7 was available, is it due to a change we backported to lucid?

the new version is in maverick now

the debdiff is between the previous version with the changes applied and the new one

ACK from ubuntu-sru

Accepted papyon into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I'm using the proposed package for a while and did not noticed any regression so far, i cannot reproduce the original bug but i can confirm that it doesn't cause any regression. msn still works fine here.

Thanks Pedro. Regression testing is the more important part here, so let's call this verified.

This bug was fixed in the package papyon - 0.4.8-0ubuntu1
