and rebooting and then starting pidgin (Pidgin 2.5.4-1.fc10),

"The client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at
http://pidgin.im"

But there is no binary package available for f10 on pidgin.im.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pidgin-2.5.4-1.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
each time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start pidgin
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

"The client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at
http://pidgin.im"

Expected results:
Can connect to my buddies

Additional info:

I could solve my problem by downloading the 2.5.5 source package from sourceforge.net and then building pidgin-2.5.5.

bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment 2 Joachim Backes 2009-03-10 13:03:17 UTC 
After getting a hint from the fedora community, I could install pidgin and libpurple from  the f10 updates-testing repo:

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update pdgin libpurple

This pidgin version pidgin-2.5.5-1.fc10.i386 seems to run correctly.

thank you for that tip!!!!!!
Comment 4 Peter Brommer 2009-03-12 16:38:57 UTC 
Should be marked a duplicate of Bug 489087. Or as resolved, as the updated package has hit the mirrors, so "yum update" should help...
