You don't by chance happen to have another version of Pidgin
installed on that machine?  Stumbled across this weird
(dis)similar thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-579912.html

Found this also, under the section titled "Setup Jabber"

"Note: Pidgin is installed by default in Ubuntu, but lacks good
support for the Jabber protocol, if you plan on using Jabber for
more than just chatting (filetransfer, for example), you are
recommended to use a dedicated Jabber client, such as Gajim, PSI
(Qt) or Gossip" 

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jabber

If you're just using the Jabber protocol, Gajim looks neat.

Other option might be to do a purge remove?

Other other option might be to update Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04?  I'm
sure you have your reasons for hanging on to 7.10, but it does
lose support in a few months.  8.04 is a LTS, so that's good.  Did
you try Pidgin on 8.04 already?

Good luck,
Sean
