force version help please

[maddbaron]

problem: added software from a ppa i use to get up to date programs, during the update empathy was deleted.

i went back and deleted the new software causing the conflict but empathy still won't install.

I see there are two versions, 3.1.1.1 and the ubuntu 11.04 2.3.4 i think... i want to install the natty version but whenever I try force version it gives me an error...

Is the solution removing the ppa? or is there a work around like downgrading back to the original software?

any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance?

It would help to see the errors you are getting? Do you know which version you had before that was working? Which PPA? Is version 3.1.1.1 coming from that PPA or another PPA?

The default version was 2.34, I wanted to go to 3.1.1.1...here is the output from terminal

$ sudo apt-get install empathy

I am not exactly sure how it got like this, I removed the programs that caused the original removal...this is confusing
