hey thanks for the update! And thanks for correcting my error.

[ivanovnegro]

Was not a real error but I prefer to see upgrade issues here. ;) After the freeze they will be very important to track as it comes into the messages of the upgrade warnings on LinuxBBQ releases.

For the sake of bringing this thread full circle...

okay now that the fix out, I took them off hold.

Code: Select all

sudo su
echo pidgin install|dpkg --set-selections
echo pidgin-data install|dpkg --set-selections

Then do an

Code: Select all

apt-get update

to pull in the newer version with the fix, and

Code: Select all

apt-get dist-upgrade
