Re: problem with pidgin-ppa
The error is happening on removal. Specifically, it's happening because the package post-removal script is trying to remove the Pidgin PPA key and the key isn't installed. Tomorrow, I'll correct the pidgin-ppa package to handle this condition. I really need to upload a new pidgin package anyway. That said, Knoppix is not Ubuntu. The PPA is for Ubuntu. Since you're using Knoppix, you'll have to either get your package from Knoppix or build from source. Richard ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Why Because Something@yahoo.com isn't a MSN name, it's a Yahoo name, so you'd add it using Yahoo, and you'd omit the @yahoo.com. You can use other domains as MSN Passport accounts, and thus use them with MSN Messenger. As this is yahoo.com, I'm not sure if the problem is related to the Yahoo Messenger integration. Is this contact using MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger on their end?

Re: do we need this list to be spammed by ubuntu's launchpad?
On Thu, 2008-07-03 at 07:56 -0700, Evan Platt wrote: Is it possible to not have launchpad e-mail the useless 'updates'? In general, letting people subscribed to a question know about updates to the linked bug report is a great idea, so no, it's not possible to disable these particular notices individually. I count about 20 in the past 24 hours for the same 'ticket' (37929): They were actually for the linked bug report, which is Bug #244591. This happened because there was a serious problem with multiple IM clients. Someone (reasonably) asked a question about the problem, which then (properly) got linked to the bug report. The bug report (properly) had task items for Pidgin Kopete (upstream, across all the supported versions of Ubuntu, and Debian) as well as Licq upstream. This is getting pretty close to a worst-case possible bug, ever. I suppose someone could have thrown in a couple more clients and tied them to RedHat bug reports as well or something. I'll stipulate that answer contacts for project X *probably* (which is to say they might in some cases) don't care about updates to the status of a task for project Y on a linked bug report, but it doesn't seem to me that it'd be worth it for the Launchpad developers to write special case code to deal with that when it's so rarely a problem. Yes, this was annoying. So were all the users asking about the problem (which is not unreasonable for them to do). When big issues happen, we get a lot of mail. The Launchpad ones were pretty easy to sort out. It's clear that the Launchpad e-mail bothers you in general. Why don't you just filter it out?
