sudo gainroot <enter>
apt-get -f install <enter>
apt-get autoremove <enter>

ehm... these commands only check for missing dependencies and failures and correct them... and then remove packages which are no longer needed...

but this is nothing pidgin specific... for this you'll have to uninstall it via the app-manager or specify the responsible packages for unstalling them via apt-get...

I have a might be similar question.
I saw a "Pidgin Extra Protocols (Bonjour and Sametime)" and I tried to remove it from Application Manager.
Howerever it gave me an error "Required by application packages: Pidgin Sametime Support..."
But I didn't see that "Pidgin Sametime Support" in application manager

So, how do I remove the "Pidgin Extra Protocols (Bonjour and Sametime)"?

without warranty:

sudo gainroot
apt-get remove pidgin-protocol-sametime
apt-get remove pidgin-protocol-bonjour
apt-get autoremove

and have a look in the app-manager if there is still the sametime-bonjour package... and uninstall it...

haven't tested it... won't test it... just try it... but don't blame me :P

you wanted to know how to uninstall it... and that should be the way to go... but i won't test it because i use these protocols

worst thing would be that you have to reinstall the protocols via apt-get install.... i think :P

ok... it won't do it...
it's needed by the pidgin protocols plugin which contains nearly all of the protocols like aim, icq, msn, etc...
so if you want to uninstall sametime and bonjour you have to uninstall the other package first...

in short: you can't have aim, icq, msn, etc... without sametime and bonjour...
