Just hit the same issue when I upgraded extra-protocols and I managed to make it work as follows:
Using X-terminal:
dpkg -r pidgin
dpkg -P pidgin
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
dpkg -i libpurple0_2.7.5-1nix0_armel.deb
Then I tried installing pidgin again, with aptitude install pidgin which was failing with the same error
So I had to force it:
cp /etc/purple/prefs.xml prefs.xml.bak
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
dpkg -i --force-overwrite pidgin_2.7.5-1nix0_armel.deb
Went back to /etc/purple, prefs.xml was the same, no need to change.
I'm not sure if it's the best solution but it worked for me. And probably if you --force-overwrite libpurple it will also work without removing pidgin.
Hope it helps!
