Please reply to the list and not to me directly.

Have you added the Pidgin PPA to your package manager (see
http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/)? If not, you will need to to get
anything newer than what ubuntu shipped your distro with.

Are you sure that you have actually restarted pidgin since doing the
update (if it is already running, re-launching it will just bring up
the existing instance (the old version))?

What does `pidgin --version` say?

If that doesn't say you have the latest in the PPA (2.7.1), what does
`dpkg -s pidgin` say?
