Issue telepathy-butterfly
Affects Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Ubuntu 10.10 Cause A bug is present in the telepathy-butterfly package.
Resolution An update is pending approval and will be available for both Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10. Informal patches are available, however, I prefer to stick to the mainline distribution as much as possible to avoid introducing tightly coupled dependencies.

sudo killall telepathy-butterfly sudo dpkg --purge telepathy-butterfly sudo apt-get install telepathy-haze Reconfigure your MSN connections and attempt to activate them. »
