i was having the problem where telegram was not showing up on pidgin´s drop down list, so i un-installed/purged pidgin and purple protocol telegram and tried to re install them but now neither are showing up in the application manager
tried doing it trough the terminal, but it just fails.
Type ln -s /telegram-purple.so /usr/lib/purple-2 in terminal. Seek from the previous pages, if you need more information. But for some reason, telegram-purple.so has moved to / but it should be in /usr/lib/purple-2 so make a symbolic link for the file.
