This is not a real question. You must make a better explanation of your problem.

If you want an update of your pidgin, please look at http://pidgin.im

There you can find updates for your pidgin and you must download it and compile it.

Bye

pidgin is having problems due to yahoo updates now i have been told to upgrade but because i am already using it won't allow me too "Ubuntu ships Pidgin but does not update it after a release (except for security issues). For those users who desire new releases of Pidgin, we have packaged Pidgin in a PPA. If you encounter problems with these packages, try building from source and report the bug.

To setup the PPA, copy-and-paste these commands into a terminal:" Now i tried this but i don't have a clue if i did it right now i know i am not the only one who doesn't understand so are you going to update using the updater or do i need to take pidgin out by the synaptic package manager? I can get pidgin to login in by changing page server too :- cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com but i can't get into a chat room

Can you help with this problem?
