Same ubuntu version, same problem. Messages are received fine, but contacts from gtalk accounts are not displayed in Empathy

Same Ubuntu version, with same problem.

I solve this problem adding the Telepathy PPA to my sources.list and updating with the new packages...

@Rodrigo: I tried it, everything seemed ok during the update but it still doesn't work :( I restarted the computer, tried to update again(maybe I shouldn't?) and then I had this: unableto connect to packages medibuntu.org, some index files failed to download, they have been ignored or old ones used instead. Any idea ?
