Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
I'd previously installed from source pidgin 2.5.5 in /usr/local. Now that
2.5.6 can be installed automatically on ubuntu, I updated
/etc/apt/sources.list.d per the web page instrucions and upgraded to 2.5.6
using update manager. "About" said I was now running 2.5.6 but from time to
time pidgin would suggest that I upgrade to 2.5.6. Looking closer, I was
still running libpurple 2.5.5. I tried to use synaptic to completely uninstall
and reinstall pidgin and libpurple, but I still had libpurple 2.5.5. Only
thing that seemed to work for me was to go back to the 2.5.5 source and as
root, make uninstall.
Now it says Im at 2.5.6 with libpurple 2.5.6.
