Description jerico 2011-06-15 02:14:40 UTC 
When executing accept_contact_invitation() with add_to_contact_list=True, the soap request fails with "Hidden Contact with Same PUID Already Exists" or "Contact Already Exists", when:
1) a contact existed earlier
2) was deleted
3) an invitation arrives for that contact
4) we're trying to accept that invitation

This problem existed in msnp-sharp (see <http://code.google.com/p/msnp-sharp/issues/detail?id=249>) and has been solved there. I'll try to port their solution over to papyon.

A fix can be found in this topic branch: <https://github.com/jerico-dev/papyon/tree/38336-handle-contact-exists>. The fix relies on the changes made for #37962 and I had to refactor several events to get this working. I tried to keep everything backwards compatible, though. The fix was tested stand-alone and with telepathy-butterfly.

Feel free to close once this is in master.
