and subject line Bug#561624: fixed in pidgin 2.11.0-1
has caused the Debian Bug report #561624,
regarding pidgin: Pidgin description in Add/Remove Applications is overly geeky
to be marked as done.
This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with.
If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the
Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith.
(NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what this
message is talking about, this may indicate a serious mail system
misconfiguration somewhere. Please contact [email protected]
immediately.)

Package: pidgin
Severity: wishlist
Forwarded from Ubuntu.
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/259793
Ubuntu Intrepid alpha 3
1. Open Add/Remove Applications.
2. Search for "pidgin".
3. Read Pidgin's description.
What you see:
Pidgin Internet Messenger
graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X
Pidgin is a graphical, modular Instant Messaging client capable of using
AIM/ICQ, Yahoo!, MSN, IRC, Jabber, Napster, Zephyr, Gadu-Gadu, Bonjour,
Groupwise, Sametime, SILC, and SIMPLE all at once.
Some extra packages are recommended to use the core functionality present
in most pidgin installations:
* gstreamer0.10-plugins-base, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
- Sound support.
More extra packages are suggested to use increased functionality:
* gnome-panel | kicker | docker:
- To use the system tray icon functionality (minimizing to an icon,
having the icon blink when there are new messages, etc.)
* evolution-data-server:
- For interfacing with an Evolution address book
* libsqlite3-0:
- To use Contact Availability Prediction plugin
What you should see: A description that
* helps end users decide whether they want to install the program
* does not refer to "the core functionality present in most pidgin
installations" (how am I supposed to know what that means?)
* does not use the phrase "more extra"
* does not refer to other packages by name, because searching Add/Remove
Applications for those other packages does not find them, and because that's
what Suggests and Recommends are for;
* does not use the phrase "system tray" (there's no such thing in Ubuntu).
A useful description might mention features Pidgin has that other IM programs
do not, such as buddy pounces and plug-ins.
