I downloaded this add-on at this site after installing pidgin: http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/downloads/detail?name=pidgin-facebookchat-1.69.deb&can=2&q=

I dont know what happened/what I did but I'm having errors. At my update manager, it says that error on the title and ask to update packages, but it wont update. Over the software center, the "applying changes" for the repair is stuck at the half. I tried doing those commands on the terminal and that what I got:

sudo apt-get check
[sudo] password for geo:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 pidgin-data : Breaks: pidgin-facebookchat (< 1.69-2) but 1.69 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
geo@Geo-PC:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

edit: The notification error for update maneger disappeared when i did sudo apt-get remove pidgin-facebookchat
