Installing Gaim 2.0 beta with Synaptic?

[yootje]

Is it possible to install Gaim 2.0 beta 2 via apt-get? If no, how can I do it?

I think you can, but you have to change the repositiories, though.

I don't know how to do that. Maybe searching around on the forums could help.

dpkg -i gaim_2.0.0beta2-1_i386.deb

Mind the bandwith, its not excelent... its a free host

I renamed the gaim.desktop to gaim.desktop.back... it gives me the same problem.

I uninstalled gaim. Same problem. How do you install the deb provided in this thread??

Remove gaim-data package then try again ;)
It worked for me ....

[Sonique]

that works, thanks

sudo apt-get remove gaim-data
