Upgrade Pidgin To Version 2.5.8 in Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)

In the previous post of pidgin, this application can not connect to yahoo, because here  the setting on the pidgin server must be replaced with cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com, but it is still often an error. one way to fix it by upgrading the application to version 2.5.8. to upgrade this application, follow these steps :

add your source repository in sources.list by type :

$ sudo su

$ gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and add this line on your repository :

deb ftp://repo.ugm.ac.id/pidgin-developers/ jaunty main

and save...!!

update your sources repository by type :

$ apt-get update

and install pidgin version 2.5.8 by type :

$ apt-get install pidgin pidgin-data

Backup your pidgin configuration by :

$ mv .purple .purple-backup

Finish....!!!
