Hi all, since this morning I am getting a ssl certification error in pidgin for my MSN accounts.
Does anyone else have the same problem?

Yes - same here.

There is a bug related to this: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/15468

FYI - I am also running into this bug: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/15471

Solution: download the file "Baltimore_CyberTrust_Root.pem", which is attached to bug 15468. And copy it to "/usr/share/purple/ca-certs/". Make sure to restart Pidgin and it will work again.
