Bug Description

When I try to add a new Flickr account, I am able to successfully log in, however it just redirects to the home page of Flickr's mobile site, instead of asking to grant access to the application, so the OAuth key is never obtained.

account-plugin-flickr 0.11+14.04.20140325-0ubuntu1

Thanks for reporting this bug! I can confirm it, unfortunately the flickr authentication doesn't work any more. We'll work on a fix.

This bug was fixed in the package account-plugins - 0.11+14.04.20140409.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
account-plugins (0.11+14.04.20140409.1-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * New rebuild forced

  [ Alberto Mardegan ]
  * Use new Canonical-owned facebook application key (LP: #1304798)

  [ David Barth ]
  * This change is to fix the maintainer scripts for the flickr
    settings. It mostly undoes the changes of
    https://code.launchpad.net/~mardy/account-
    plugins/lp1299659/+merge/213415 which are considered dangerous. (LP:
    #1299659)

account-plugins (0.11+14.04.20140401-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * New rebuild forced

  [ Alberto Mardegan ]
  * Restore the ability to create flickr accounts. This has the
    unfortunate side-effect of re-opening bug 1041744, by making the
    unsupported "login with Facebook" and "login with Google" buttons
    visible again, but that's a necessary evil. (LP: #1041744, #1299659)

It seems the flickr problem has gone away by itself. I just tested a fresh unpatched saucy in a VM and I was able to register a flickr account no problem. Can anybody confirm?
