Well I've re-named that file and the pidgin entries have now gone from 
the Other software list and the Update Manger 'check for update' now 
runs without warning messages.

Are we done? Is this a general bug or just a strange quirk/artefact of 
numerous updates of my particular system?

Thanks

Terry

Title:
  Entries that are deleted from the Other software list just reappear.

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When running 'check for updates' in the Update Manager it objects to
  two PPA entries for Pidgin in the 'other software' list. If I try
  deleting these the deletion lasts while Update Manager is open, but
  when closed and re-opened these entries re-appear.

  I have a perhaps related problem with adding software reviews in the
  Software Centre. I can post reviews but once posted I cannot edit
  them.
