Milestone:  2.10.1     |   Component:  unclassified
  Version:  2.9.0      |    Keywords:              
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Pidgin 2.9.0 (libpurple 2.9.0).
 Ubuntu Natty (AKA Ubuntu 11.04.*).

 Regarding "the ppa install" part of http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ :

 /* I use ubuntu natty with ui "classic ubuntu". */

 The ppa installation instructions should specify the following:

 In Ubuntu Natty (Ubuntu 11.04.*), GDebi is not installed by default.

 To install it, run a terminal (click Applications, point to Standard /*or
 is it Accessories???*/, click Terminal), and type:
   sudo apt-get install gdebi
 Then press Enter. When the installation completes, press Ctrl D to close
 the terminal.

 The ppa installation instructions should include something like that, at
 appropriate place:

 Select Open with: and GDebi Package Installer. (If GDebi Package Installer
 is not present in the list of applications to Open with, select Other...
 and specify gdebi-gtk at the input box). Click OK.

 /*

 It seems that GDebi Package Installer was absent from Open with...
 application list immediately after "sudo apt-get install gdebi"
 completion, but I'm not quite sure --- needs to be investigated.

 //I somehow ran gdebi from the Open with: Other... input box, it did
 nothing and shown nothing. After that, it seems that the GDebi Package
 Installer entry appeared in the Open with: list.

 I didn't actually try to specify gdebi-gtk at that box. Needs to be
 checked if specifying gdebi-gtk works as expected.

 {{{
 $ gdebi --version
 0.7.0
 }}}
