Telepathy asks for -haze and -gabble to be installed, but they are

Dear all,

I cannot use telepathy after having updated to opensuse 12.1. All worked well in 11.4.

When creating an account, the account manager complains that ‘To connect to this IM network, you need to install additional plugins. Please install the telepathy-haze and telepathy-gabble packages using your package manager.’

trouble is, those are installed.

[all come from the KR48 telepathy repo]

telepathy-haze-0.5.0-5.1.2.x86_64
[this comes from opensuse standard OSS repo]

telepathy-gabble-0.15.4-2.2.x86_64
[this comes from KR48 telepathy repo]

I cleared all config files, and even tried to create a new user and see if it would work there. No hope. Plus, I checked with a friend that has got the same opensuse setup, and he has exactly the same packages installed - and it works on his laptop.

Any hints?
