Running Psi 0.9.1 on Linux.

The following Problem occurs with some ICQ-Contacts.

If I write a message to the contact the first time, the message is actually
sent two times.

<message to="[USERS_FAMILY_NAME]" >
<body>Ok.</body>
</message>

<message to="[USERS_ICQ]@icq.tacker.dyndns.org" >
<body>Ok.</body>
</message>

In return I receive
<message iperror="" from="[USERS_FAMILY_NAME]" type="error" to="m@tacker.dyndns.org/Psi" >
<body>Ok.</body>
<error code="502" >Unable to resolve hostname.</error>
</message>

A new roster entry named 'USERS_FAMILY_NAME' is added with "[   ]" as icon.
Displaying "Users Details" will freeze Psi.

Next time I send a message to hime. Psi just sends
<message to="[USERS_FAMILY_NAME]" >
<body>Ok.</body>
</message>

Even if I click on the ICQ contact entry to send a message to the to filed in the
message window will contain 'USERS_FAMILY_NAME'.

Any ideas?

Mmm... What is "[USERS_FAMILY_NAME]" like? Like "Misha" or like "Misha@MyFamilyServer.com"? The first case is wrong, and if you use it, you must delete that contact, and add correct one.

Yes.
<message to="Misha" >
<body>Ok.</body>
</message>

This isn't a correct adress, no wonder the Server can't handle it.
But why ist this account created?

Because it is still a valid name for the server. For example, my local server is named 'norka'. You need to delete that incorrect contact from your roster, and add a correct one.

Have you used Exodus with the same account?

Comment if the question seems totally offtopic: I'm trying to track a pattern: there's a recent post on the maillist with some duplicated entries in the roster that occured after using Exodus.

No.

Checkout these screens.

lol, ok, I understand
It's because you've got a comma in the name, so when you send to "surname, firstname<addr>" it sends to both "surname" and "firstname<addr>"
I don't know if commas are allowed in roster names, I assume so; if not we should stop them, if so we should fix this :)

iceram: you could have just left it as it was :P
Seriously, it's sometimes useful to see how we got to such topics, so unless it's really misplaced, which this wasn't I don't think we need to move stuff about

Well, I would have left it as it was, but I have never seen in my entire life somebody creating a new topic for a Bug discussed in another forum topic (Help and general chat) - especially when there's FlySpray for that.

At first I wanted to delete the new topic and (simply create a new FlySpray task + add reply to the old thread), but I don't like deleting things (especially those which are not mine).

I came to the conclusion that adding the bug report to the rest of the topic is the best choice. But... then again... it was a bug, so it should have stayed in Bugs, where the last post was made. I moved everything to Bugs, into one big thread (bigger with one post actually).

It's "useful to see how we got to such topics" - true, that's why I left the link (& the previous title) in the "Help and general chat" forum.

P.S. I don't like seeing a mess in a distributed environment/community (things usually get lost, forgotten etc.).
