 Hey, I noticed new(ish) install instructions for Ubuntu that instruct the
 user how to add the Pidgin PPA repository, so that you can get Pidgin
 updates through the Ubuntu package manager.

 http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/

 The problem is, I tried this on three Ubuntu machines and none of them had
 a value for the DISTRIB_CODENAME environment variable.  (It looks like you
 are expecting it to be "intrepid", "hardy", or whatever.)  So, a bad line
 got added to the source list and apt-get yelled at me when I tried to
 update.

 These instructions should be updated so that they don't rely on having the
 DISTRIB_CODENAME environment variable set.
