[SOLVED] Keep Pidgin Updated...

[nomadewolf]

How do i keep Pidgin updated?
I add the ubuntu PPA, but the update manager keeps showing an error...
In the previous releases all i had to do was edit the repos. But i can't find anything there, now...

I'm sure someone was able to get this working without compiling from source... How didi you do it?

Please show us your /etc/apt/sources.list file. It should contain the following line (provided that you're using Mint 9):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

The correct procedure for installing the pidgin launchpad ppa is by opening a terminal and typing

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa

If you just add the repo to /etc/apt/sources.list manually, you also need to manually add the key with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A1F196A8
