[pkg-otr-team] Bug#767103: irssi-plugin-otr doesn't work with irssi 0.8.17

[David Kalnischkies]

Package: irssi-plugin-otr
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: grave
X-Debbugs-CC: irssi at packages.debian.org

Hello!

Upgrading irssi from 0.8.16-1+b1 to 0.8.17-1 seems to break the OTR
plugin for me. Opening a new query window and executing "/otr init"
resulted usually in the initialisation of an OTR session.

Doing it now seems to not send anything to the remote user I tried to
init an OTR session with and instead a message like this shows up in the
status window:

14:50:16 [oftc] OTR: Initiating OTR session...
14:50:20 [oftc] -!- H�G(�ff.�: No such nick/channel

OTR inits from the remote end don't trigger any interesting status messages,
but the query window contains the usual "Gone secure" message, but nearly
after every message from the remote (sprinkled in with a message telling me
that this wasn't sent inside the OTR session) and the indicator claims it
is still plaintext. I haven't really investigated which one is true as that
smells fishy either way.

(I think it is unrelated, but for completeness: the remote end is Pidgin,
but a simple webclient as remote doesn't show any message along the lines of
"?OTRv23?" if I try to init either; irssi is connected via ZNC).


Downgrading irssi to the previous version solves this issue.
I have CC'ed irssi maintainers in case they have an idea what is wrong
and/or as this if unsolved effects jessie might warrant a Breaks.


Best regards
