# yum install pidgin

... will work also with no pidgin.repo .

'pidgin' is a "standard" Fedora 12 package.
Suggest : delete the file /etc/yum.repos.d/pidgin.repo
... to get the Fedora package.
Current version = pidgin 2.6.6-2.fc12
...

Hey, Manish -

What ever happened with this question?

When you resolve a problem, it's polite to post back how you resolved it (so other people can learn from your experience).

It's also polite to use the "solved" and "thanks" buttons where appropriate (like for Knudfl, below).

Please follow Knudfl's advice:

Quote:

1. su - root
2. rm /etc/yum.repos.d/pidgin.repo
3. yum install pidgin

Please post back, and cut/paste:

1. Your exact commands
2. The exact errors (if any) from running these commands

Simon Bridge · 06-01-2010, 01:13 AM

did you do this: rm /etc/yum.repos.d/pidgin.repo

eg. did you remove the pidgin.repo file?

Manish87 · 06-01-2010, 03:44 AM

hey,

Thanks for the reply paulsm4 and simon.Yes i deleted the pidgin file from /etc/yum.repos.d/pidgin.repo bt the problem still Persist

alli_yas · 06-01-2010, 04:15 AM

According to the yum info on the "good" and "bad" version of the GStreamer packages, the good is a well supported plugin licensed under the GPL versus the bad which is an unstable unsupported version.

Looking at the dependency list for pidgin from an "official" Fedora repository (this is for Fedora 13 but should be similar for Fedora 12):

Except from: #yum deplist pidgin

Code:

...
...
...
  dependency: libdbus-glib-1.so.2()(64bit)
   provider: dbus-glib.x86_64 0.84-3.fc13
  dependency: gstreamer-plugins-good
   provider: gstreamer-plugins-good.x86_64 0.10.21-2.fc13
   provider: gstreamer-plugins-good.i686 0.10.21-2.fc13
   provider: gstreamer-plugins-good.i686 0.10.22-2.fc13
   provider: gstreamer-plugins-good.x86_64 0.10.22-2.fc13
...
...
...

Now for some reason you have a repository which is resolving the dependency to be provided by the "bad" version of the Gstreamer plugin.

I really think that as per the previous posters, this has something to do with your yum repository configuration.
