Yes, I think "None" is not a valid distribution. Do you know what version of Ubuntu you're using? I think our PPA only supports 8.04.2 LTS (Hardy Heron), 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope). Try replace "None" in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.lst with one of hardy, intrepid or jaunty. -Mark _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
