Since you are monitoring this bug upstream, please let me know when a fix is found. Thanks.

No probs.

Someone posted a patch to the bug report, it changes some SOAP URLs.

I've applied this using the bitlbee PKGBUILD via ABS and MSN works again.

The developer (wilmer) appears to be on holiday, so I'm not sure how quick this will be fixed.

Patch attached, but I know Arch generally shies away from patches. At the very least, people have a workaround if they want it.

I've put bitlbee-3.0.3-5 in [testing] which incorporates that patch.
It'd be great if you could confirm that it works for you (I'm not using MSN anymore), and I'll push it to [extra] then.

Confirmed, 3.0.3-5 works fine.
