You had pidgin installed during rawhide when it had an epoch. We dropped the
epoch as only a small window of rawhide users were effected. You can remove
your current pidgin then install again and it will pick up the newer pidgin
sans epoch.
Pidgin was just an example. There are no updates coming down from the
updates repo even though there were a reasonable amount of update
packages posted to the list after F7 was released.
