Package: pidgin Version: 2.10.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainers,
Pidgin 2.10.1 (libpurple 2.10.1) was configured for Google talk but it fails to connect with the message "Der Server benutzt keine der unterstützten Authentifizierungsmethoden", in english: "Server does not use any supported authentication method", which is not true(see below). I figured out that this occurs when the hostname in /etc/hostname doesn't match the one in /etc/hosts. After adapting the two entries, Pidgin connected fine.
