Public bug reported:

The package for pidgin-plugin-pack is out of date, requesting an update

Ubuntu Budgie 17.10
Artful Aardvark

Package: pidgin-plugin-pack
Version 2.7.9-3
Section: Networking (universe)
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers

Source
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/purple-plugin-pack

The package for pidgin-plugin-pack may be built from out of date sources. It 
references an old, defunct URL for the Home page in Synaptic. Its plugins in 
the pidgin "plugin" GUI  also include that defunct URL
https://www.guifications.org/projects/purple-plugin-pack

I found that the URL was no longer valid while investigating the plugin 
"/exec", which is not working for me.  The website listed for this plugin 
through the pidgin UI is also
https://www.guifications.org/projects/purple-plugin-pack

That website no longer exists. The domain is owned by another entity.
The current URL listed on the pidgin website for this plugin is:
https://bitbucket.org/rekkanoryo/purple-plugin-pack/

Main website for pidgin 3rd party plugins:
https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins

Please update the package with current sources which are recommended by
the pidgin maintainers.
