Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-06-05 20:32:30 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=426293

I renamed a group, which contained some ICQ-only, some Jabber-only and some ICQ-and-Jabber contacts. After a few days I wondered why only the Jabber users were online and 
all ICQ users always offline (only the Jabber part of the combined users was shown online too). I talked to a few of the ICQ users and they told me that they were online. It 
was not possible to request their authorization again so I logged in with ICQ2Go. There I saw that the whole group was missing in my ICQ contact list. Somehow kopete deleted these users (I am sure that this was done by kopete because I am not using any other IM client [except ICQ2Go for testing this time]) and did not create the new group on the icq server. I got them back by deleting these users from my kopete contact list, adding them again and asking for the authorization. Maybe it is possible for you to reproduce the bug. If I should try to reproduce it please tell me how to log the things kopete does (maybe strace?). Then I will try with a test group or something.

I think you hit a bug that I described here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119442#c4

I'll try to add some check so Kopete won't delete users from server side list if the group isn't empty.

This bug will be fixed properly in Kopete 1.0 where we will abort the rename operation if it fails.

I think i solved the problem by using pidgin to download the buddylist from gadu-gadu protocol, delete the group, then reupload it to server. The group doesnt reappear.
