Pidgin

Error in Update manager

Asked by Indian Art

Hi I updated Pidgin to version 2.6.1 following the instuctions of a website (called Ubuntu Manual I think).

The upgrade is sucessful, however I get the following error message in the update manager:

"GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 7FB8BEE0A1F196A8Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/deb-src/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/jaunty/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

Now, the update manager always says " the package information was last updated 14 hours ago". Even if I manually check it less than a minute ago. What can I do to resolve this?

I figured the problem out.

The solution is to go to -> Update Manager -> Third Party Software

Uncheck http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu

Click 'Close'

& now there ar no more error messages.

Software upates are as current as 'less than one hour'.
