[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#687370: telepathy-gabble: sends iChat into a capability-discovery loop

[Simon McVittie]

Package: telepathy-gabble
Version: 0.16.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: maintainer's opinion
Tags: fixed-upstream
Forwarded: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53087

iChat has a bug in which, if it receives an error reply to a
capability-discovery ("disco") request, it will resend that request. As
long as it keeps getting errors, it will keep sending requests in a loop.

telepathy-gabble < 0.16.3 advertises the Google "camera-v1" capability
bundle, but does not respond successfully to capability-discovery
requests for it, triggering the iChat bug. This is fixed upstream in 0.16.3.
