hi all,

several days ago, i post a question about the same problem:

http://marc.info/?l=fedora-devel-list&m=118731712707792&w=2

i have remove all "exclude" in my yum.conf, and vidal told me that
the mirror i use has not new pidgin, but i search with yum:

$ sudo yum search pidgin

the output has the new version of the pidgin in development repo,
but i can not update pidgin, whatever the method i use:

$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum update pidgin

all failed, so i download the pidgin and libpurple rpm from koji:

-(:09:21:$)-> sudo yum localupdate pidgin-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm
libpurple-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm
Setting up Local Package Process
Examining pidgin-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm: pidgin - 2.1.1-1.fc8.i386
Examining libpurple-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm: libpurple - 2.1.1-1.fc8.i386
pidgin-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm: does not update installed package.
libpurple-2.1.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm: does not update installed package.
Nothing to do


i don't know why i can not update pidgin through.
