Since I couldn't find anywhere to report this bug and it looks like the official pidgin bug tracker is not for Maemo, here it goes.

I upgraded to pidgin 2.7.5 and I think it's the worst thing I could have ever done in my life.

When I click on Tools -> Preferences it crashes with these last lines in the log:

Code:
HMVC: tv_row_activated
HMVC: tv_row_activated
(14:22:32) GLib-GObject: IA__g_object_set_valist: object class `HildonPannableArea' has no property named `shadow-type'
(14:22:33) stun: using server 
pidgin: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/pidgin.launch: undefined symbol: he_cell_renderer_toggle_get_type
It always happens no matter what, even with all accounts disabled. Is it just me or it happens to everybody?

I have PR1.3 if that helps.

the exact same thing is happening to me. I'm not getting the error about GLib-GObject or stun, but my output is otherwise exactly the same.

OK I fixed it. Since I couldn't replicate the problem in my scratchbox I tried to see what's different. The symbol he_cell_renderer_toggle_get_type is defined in libhildon-extras1 at least in 0.9.3 and I had 0.9.1 in my phone.

So I issued:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libhildon-extras1
That upgraded libhildon-extras1 to version 0.9.7 and now Tools -> Preferences in pidgin works.

For mine:
uninstall pidgin --> otherwise the apt-get -f install will fail


sudo gainroot
apt-get -f install
apt-get install libhildon-extras1
reinstall the pidgin

and the preferences works.

Got it all updated and to work with this hint plus a few others. Thx.

Though I was able to force install after I had everything else updated, thankfully cuz I didn't feel like uninstalling and reinstalling again after I just updated everything.

Strange ... pidgin build-depends on libhildon-extras1-dev (>= 0.9.3), but the resulting binary package does not. It depends simply on libhildon-extras1 (any version), which is bad, because, when built, it should be calculated to depend on libhildon-extras1 (>= 0.9.3) ... maybe there's something missing from libhildon-extras ...

Indeed. That means it's just a typo in the configuration file of the debian package when they packaged it. That's all.

Scorpius, nix_nix, what device do you discuss?
IMHO pidgin has rather stray dependencies.
I try to install pidgin, but fail with the error:
Code:
# apt-get install pidgin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pidgin: Depends: libhildon-extras1 (>= 0.9.3) but it is not installable or
                   maemo-version (< 5.0) but it is not installable or
                   maemo-version (>= 6.0) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
The problem is that libhildon-extras1 package exists only in freemantle repos and maemo-version package exists only in chinook repos. None of them is available for diablo (my case).
