Comment(by fairtaxbill):

 Thank you for the prompt reply. Your response makes sense. However, your
 install directions on the download page are incomplete. You need to add
 the apt-get install line... you do not mention that. So, I did follow all
 of the directions as you provided them. But, I presume that eventually,
 the program will list in the normal Ubuntu updates...but that is more
 passive. I appreciate your consideration in updating your download page.
 Thanks.

 Ubuntu ships Pidgin but does not update it after a release (except for
 security issues and high-severity bugs). For those users who desire new
 releases of Pidgin, we have packaged Pidgin in a PPA. If you encounter
 problems with these packages, try building from source and report the bug.

 To setup the PPA, copy-and-paste these commands into a terminal:

 sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \
 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8

 echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \
 `lsb_release --short --codename` main | \
     sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list

 Once this PPA is setup, Pidgin updates will show up in Update Manager
 along with the usual Ubuntu updates. The PPA will need to be re-setup only
 after upgrading Ubuntu.

 This PPA is maintained by one developer, so please be patient. It often
 lags behind the source releases a couple of days.
