Ubuntu-LB Pidgin 2.5.0 With MSNP15 Is Out

[Dani Soufi]

Dear Jocelyn,
Installing debian packages from getdeb.net aren't reliable and risky. Those
packages are greated by users, could have a lot of failures that could lead
to system crash. I once had experienced that. So I don't recommend it. It's
better to build from source then to get it from that site or just wait the
official ubuntu package.

Sincerely,
Dani
