[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty

[KB]

Forgive my possible ignorance, but wouldn't the easiest way to install
it, seeing it's in the gutsy repo's and all, be like this?

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.pidginbackup
sudo sed -i 's/^deb \([^ ]*\) feisty\(-security\|-updates\|\) \([a-z ]*\)$/deb \1 gutsy\2 \3/' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install gaim
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.pidginbackup /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update

If it works in feisty, this oughta install the new gaim transitional
package and therefore pidgin and all its dependencies. I'm a bit too
scared to do it on my laptop, but maybe somebody knows any potential
dangers or can deem it "safe"?
