From version 2.7.3 to version 2.7.5 I moved the prefs.xml from pidgin to libpurple. I made the mistake of forgetting to remove it from pidgin, so in version 2.7.5-0nix0 both packages were providing the same file.

I realized my mistake, and removed it from pidgin. Unfortunately, hildon application manager is pretty sticky about allowing files to move from one package to the other. You see, if you have pidgin-2.7.3-0nix2 and you want to upgrade, well, both pidgin-2.7.3-0nix2 and libpurple0-2.7.5-xnixx provide the same file, so for a short period the file would be owned by two packages. This is not allowed, and produces an error in application manager disallowing the upgrade of purple extra protocols.

As a workaround, you can do this:

Upgrade pidgin, then upgrade purple-extra-protocols separately, because once you've upgraded pidgin, the problem goes away.

I appologize for the inconvenience.

Also, please give your thumbs-up if you think this is good enough for you
