pidgin problem after installing the most recent f10 updates

[Hiisi]

Have the same problem on F9 machine. Actually you can't install the 
newer version (2.5.5) from pidgin.im. There's only repo file for FC5,6 
and 7. For newer Fedora versions we have to wait for our mountaineers 
bring it soon. Alternatively you could use Kopete while Pidgin is out of 
work. It supports most of the same protocols Pidgin does.
