http://askubuntu.com – I want to install Pidgin on my 12.10 clean install system. When I go to the Software Center and try to install the client I get an error saying:- Not found There isn’t a software package called “pidgin” in your current software sources. Any ideas which repositories i need to import to get this done. ERROR:- Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pidgin/pidgin-data_2.10.6-0... 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.156 80] Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pidgin/pidgin_2.10.6-0ubunt... 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.156 80 (HowTos)

Stories similar to Pidgin not present in 12.10 repositories, how do i get one?

I recently installed Pidgin and tried to install pidgin-facebookchat. Ubuntu software center now says that pidgin is corrupt so I press repair but nothing gets fixed. I've tried sudo apt-get purge pidgin but I get this error:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

With update manager I got:

Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libu/libunity/gir1.2-unity-5.... 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.28 80]

and then later:

Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libu/libunity/libunity9_5.12.... 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.151 80]

I think it said to check your internet connection.

A security issue aff

I was installing pidgin-otr through the terminal and for some reason i got an error saying that the package was incomplete, after a little searching on the forums i found the command to force-remove the pidgin and pidgin-otr package, and after i re-installed it was fine.

strange problem though, maybe i was trying to do too many things at once?
