Package: pidgin
Version: 2.1.1-1
Severity: normal
This is either a packaging error in pidgin, or a bug in apt.
Summary: apt-get install pidgin causes apt-get to claim that
it requires pidgin-data both >= 2.1.1 and < 2.1.1, which
obviously can't be met; but if you apt-get install pidgin
pidgin-data (i.e., explicitly specify pidgin-data) then it
finds no dependency problem. So there is no actual dependency
problem, but apt-get somehow doesn't "know" that pidgin-data
is a "real" dependency.

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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pidgin: Depends: pidgin-data (>= 2.1.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: pidgin-data (< 2.1.1-z) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libpurple0 (>= 2.1.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
