Updating Pigin to use Yahoo.Messenger

[Roger Hewison]

There seems to be a lot of information around as to the fix required to use Pigin with Yahoo.Messenger,because when it is installed with 9.04 it does just not work.
There is a conflict with Pigin and Yahoo.
And i have found the answer in a Update on the Web so i thought i would post it to you to put into Ubuntu Information as this is the Fix that rearly works.
Just open the Terminal.

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \ 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8

Then put in Password.

echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ `lsb_release --short --codename` main | \sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list

Then This

udo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install pidgin

Then when you start Pigin it Is Updated and works 100%
