[Bug 848757] [NEW] Empathy fails connecting to jabber account - "No reason specified"

 

Public bug reported:

I have seen some other people reporting a similar bug (e.g. #753820)
with similar issues, but not sure if the causes are the same. Might be a
duplicate in the end.

Situation: I was using Empathy with this jabber account for some time
now, everything worked fine. Until one day it simply stopped working -
that day no updates have been made or system changes. Empathy simply
can't connect to the account, giving an error "No reason specified".
Other clients connect correctly. I have attached mission-control and
gabble (jabber) logs for convenience.

I did some research and experiments regarding this bug, as I am able to temporarily remove it. It seems the problem might be related to mission-control-5. After removal of the .mission-control directory, killing the mission-control-5 process, and inputting account data anew, Empathy connects with no problems. Disconnecting and connecting works correctly. The problem re-appears whenever Empathy is restarted.
No changes seem to happen in .mission-control/ between the working and not working versions (diff -urN returns nothing). 
Reinstall of empathy by itself doesn't help.

Ubuntu version: 11.04
Packages version: empathy (2.34.0-0ubuntu3.1),  telepathy-mission-control-5 (1:5.7.7-1)
