Hi, I am a getdeb.net fan. I generally don't wanna compile things which I can get there precompiled. A week ago I downloaded pidgin's latest version 2.6.3 from there. There was instruction to remove the package pidgin before installing this new package. But I accidentally removed the whole pidgin. Now the problem I am facing is:
**I've gathered (libpurple0_2.6.3-1~getdeb1_i386.deb pidgin-data_2.6.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb libpurple-bin_2.6.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb pidgin-facebookchat-1.60.deb pidgin_2.6.3-1~getdeb1_i386.deb) files in a folder **When ever I applied the command "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" in the folder it's showing: nirj...@nirjhor-laptop ~/Pidgin $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb (Reading database ... 149136 files and directories currently installed.)
