Yes, and I also notice libstartup-notification0 >= 0.10 and
perl >= 5.10.0-24.
... this reminds me. You are on amd64, right? There was a problem with
the stable _security_ update of pidgin which was built in a testing
(squeeze) environment instead of a stable environment.
This though has nothing to do with pidgin from backports. The pidgin
version in lenny-backports isn't affected by this problem, pidgin from
lenny-backports is installable without any troubles onto lenny.
