Ubuntu uses its own repositories of software. Its not because there is a newer version on the website of Pidgin, that the new version gets directly into the official repositories.
if u really want to upgrade easly, try looking @ https://launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive/ppa This is a personal repository with the newest versions! -- where is update package for pidgin 2.5.7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392083 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
