About Ubuntu says something about Pidgin, but Empathy is installed.

[Thomas Berends]

Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5

While installing the Alpha 5, I saw the brand new about ubuntu thing, only it showed something about Pidgin IM, but that isn't installed.... Empathy is installed...

(You can see this while installing Ubuntu, it shows stuff about Ubuntu, also Pidgin..)

Empathy has replaced Pidgin as the default instant messaging client, introducing the Telepathy framework.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

It has replaced it, but if you install Alpha 5, you get (while
installing) some information about Ubuntu. It also says something about
Pidgin, but that isn't installed anymore.
