Binary package hint: empathy

I'm trying to add aardvark (http://www.vark.com/) to empathy, but when I try to search for Aardvark in the gmail network, the search button is disabled, so I click it and nothing happens.

I don't understand. What do you mean by "add aardvark to empathy"? Looks like this service doesn't exist any more btw.
Comment 2 Pedro Bessa 2011-12-13 08:16:40 UTC 
Aardvark was a web app. It contacted people by instant messenger. When it contacted people by instant messenger, It used the Aardvark account in Google Talk. When I tried to add Aardvark as a contact to Empathy, I couldn't, because the search button was disabled, so I couldn't communicate with Aardvark. Actually, I couldn't add anyone as contact to Empathy, because the search button was disabled, so I could only communicate with my existing contacts.
Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2011-12-13 10:53:00 UTC 
yeah that's because you should use the "add contact" dialog not the search one. I agree that's not very clear, we are planning to merge them at some point.
