Comment 37 for bug 676972

I'm surprised that this bug blocking MSN chat doesn't have top but only medium importance. It could turn many people away from Ubuntu.
I'm surprised not to find a pidgin update already in Ubuntu's depot for the general user. All it takes is repackaging with two added certificates in /usr/share/purple/ca-certs/
As it is my opinion that general users should find, without reading all this, a clear howto to solve their problem, I have updated the description. I have tested that procedure carefully.
