Hi!
I noticed pidgin needed testing. I have updates-testing installed.
You should still see the new pidgin, however. Have you given a
"yum clean metadata ; yum list pidgin libpurple" a try?
When trying to install pidgin I get a dependency error preventing me
to
install it though:
Error: Package: pidgin-2.10.0-3.fc16.i686 (fedora)
Requires: libpurple(x86-32) = 2.10.0-3.fc16
Installed: libpurple-2.10.1-1.fc16.i686 (@updates-testing)
libpurple(x86-32) = 2.10.1-1.fc16
Available: libpurple-2.10.0-3.fc16.i686 (fedora)
libpurple(x86-32) = 2.10.0-3.fc16
Apparently libpurple is too new on updates-testing. Can someone tip me
to a way to resolve this issue? Thank you.
Resources you want to learn about:
* The Fedora Updates System "bodhi"
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates
* Search for "pidgin":
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/pidgin
The current test-update of "pidgin" is on its way to "stable"
already.
The libpurple you've installed belongs to the same package set (it's built
from the same pidgin src.rpm even).
Meanwhile, the packages should still be available in the updates-testing
repo.
