strangely, I'm running Hardy and have upgraded (via apt-get I'm
assuming, don't ever recall installing any other version of pidgin) to a
higher version than is currently available on the
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/pidgin page. I downloaded the
version from the page (thinking for whatever reason the repositories in
my sources.list weren't updated? i'm using http://us.archive.ubuntu.com)
and got the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dpkg -i Desktop/pidgin_2.4.1-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb 
dpkg - warning: downgrading pidgin from 1:2.4.3-0ubuntu1~hardy1 to 
1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.

the version I currently have (2.4.3) does not work with icq, so I'm
willing to downgrade to see if 2.4.1 does, but that seems strange that a
fix would require downgrading... is this what I need to do, or?

(by the by, adium works just fine on OSX, so I know the libpurple fix
does work, I'm just confused as to the version of pidgin I need...)
