Cause: I submitted a (wrong!) command myself to upgrade to a newer version of
Pidgin from the console.
After that, the Update-Manager (and also the Synaptic Package Manager) refuses
to get and install updates for all new Ubuntu-related updates (not only for
Pidgin).
This happened two weeks ago and will detoriate my Ubuntu installation
due missing updates... ;-(
