You are indeed correct, I was misinformed by the pidgin developers on irc, I have now worked out what really happened.Once again, that doesn't make any sense. Pidgin's configure only looks for nss
nss was forciblly updated in testing because it was blocking so many packages from transitioning. Unfortunately in doing so the pkg-config file for it was updated to depend on nspr rather than xulrunner-nspr. The result is that pkg-config will not find nss even when the full xulrunner-nss name is used.
i'm forwarding this on to the release team because it means the breakage from the forcing in of nss a lot worse than it first appears, this is going to cause any package to that depends on nss through pkg-config to FTBFS in testing.
