thanks for your report. How did you install the package purple-plugin-extra-pack ? It doesn't seem to come from an official Ubuntu repository.

[Leon van der Ree (lvanderree)]

I did an apt-cache search on pidgin, since U was looking for the plugin that allows for changing the language for spell-checking. I did an custom-build on hardy and hoped it was included in 8.10

found several results worth checking out so I did:

sudo apt-get install pidgin-festival pidgin-guifications pidgin-lastfm pidgin-libnotify pidgin-musictracker pidgin-mpris pidgin-plugin-pack purple-plugin-extra-pack

I wanted to do an apt-cache show purple-plugin-extra-pack but apparantly the package has been disappeared from my repositories as well now... Strange since I cannot remember running apt-get update

So I guess this report can be closed.

[Leon van der Ree (lvanderree)]

I think purple-plugin-extra-pack might be the package I have created myself, to get the spelling language switcher.

Sorry about the misunderstanding

Thanks for following up. I'm closing this report due to your last comment. Don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
