Re: [DSA 1870-1] New pidgin packages fix arbitrary code execution

Hi.

While trying to install the new pidgin from security.debian.org on a
Debian amd64 lenny system, this is what happens:

# apt-get install pidgin

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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pidgin: Depends: libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78) but 0.76-1 is to be installed
          Depends: libpurple0 (>= 2.4.3-4lenny3) but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: libstartup-notification0 (>= 0.10) but 0.9-1 is to be installed
          Depends: perl (>= 5.10.0-24) but 5.10.0-19 is to be installed
E: Broken packages


Are you sure the package was built on a system running stable?

Thanks.
