Comment 11 Zombie Ryushu 2017-02-15 13:15:49 CET

There exists a Roster bug in 2.2.13 handling standard XEP-0321. A patch for this exists for ejabberd 2.2.11 to correct the bad mod_roster behavior, but not 2.2.13. Can the patch be rediffed to fix the problem.

Comment 12 David Walser 2017-02-15 13:21:14 CET

Please file a new bug for this issue with a link to the patch and we will try to fix it.  Thanks.
