When I looked in the Other Software entries tab I could see the two Pidgin entries were still there but un-checked. I cannot now remember if at any point I had tried de-selecting them using the check mark rather than just trying a removal. However following a re-boot the entries are back checked and I see the 'Failed to download repository' message again. Those little buggers just won't go away. BTW - I can't see it would make any difference but I am running the GNOME 2 shell on 11.10.
