Pidgin upgrade to debian testing

[den68]

Hello,

I currently use LMDE latest that includes Pidgin 2.10.2.
this version has an annoying bug that is corrected in 2.10.3, according to Pidgin website.
So I decided to switch the Debian testing reps and upgrade only Pidgin.
However, when doing this ("sudo apt-get install pidgin"), I get the following :

that seems a lot just to upgrade Pidgin, so my question is : is it safe ? am I doing it right ?

Thanks !

[zerozero]

wait a minute
you want to pick pidgin from testing and keep the system within the UP or you want fully move to testing?

EDIT:
according to this:

So I decided to switch the Debian testing reps and upgrade only Pidgin

i assume your intention is to update only pidgin, if so that is not the way to go.
1- you have to keep the default latest repos and add the debian testing;
2- you shouldn't alter the preferences file;
3- after 1- and 2- do a system update and install pidgin from testing with the -t testing switch;

let us know.

[Lippy]

The newer version of Pidgin depends on libfarstream, which replaces the older libfarsight. If you are just cherry-picking Pidgin from testing, then it will conflict with those packages that still depend on the older libfarsight. Empathy comes to mind. Unfortunately, upgrading Empathy isn't trivial as upgrading that will pull in all the Gnome 3.4 packages with it. This also breaks Cinnamon as there is no way for the new and old libclutter to co-exist on the system.

So I'm afraid you are left with only two choices. You can either hold off on the Pidgin upgrade until the next Update Pack, by which time the dependencies will be solved, or upgrade the whole OS to Debian Testing. There isn't much else you can do right now.

[den68]

thanks a lot for the help.

zerozero, I tried the way you said, it didn't make a difference, although I now realize I was not doing it the right way.

Lippy, I see what you mean, I'll stay with my bug for now in hope to see an UP in the coming weeks.

[zerozero]

i tried all the possible combinations but pidgin has a dep on libpurple0 that makes it uninstallable the way you want
