I've encountered a weird problem on my Intex-Aquafish-turned-into-Jolla-C after updating to 2.1.1.26 - the ability to use Google chat from added accounts is gone. It displays Unavailable next to the Settings | Presence option, and opening it yields:

No accounts available with presence functionality
You can add or modify accounts in Settings | Accounts

I can't remember if there was an option to 'enable' chat in the settings of Google Account pages before, but there is no such option after the update. I haven't changed any of my accounts and the chat worked perfectly fine before the update for a couple of my Google accounts.

I've also tried disabling/enabling the Google accounts, updating sign-in credentials, removing/re-adding the accounts with no luck. In addition, if I go to Messages all the conversations that I've partially had via Google now show 'Unknown' for a type and don't even let me switch back to SMS.

If it makes any difference, I couldn't update the 'regular' way (probably because of all the packages I've removed manually to get rid of the bloatware coming with Aquafish) so I updated via the good ol' ssu release 2.1.1.26 && version --dup.

Any ideas?
