I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 I was to update pidgin to lates 2.6.1 with no luck.
Simmilar problem, installing with -f option installs pidgin but creates broken
packet
-sudo apt-get install -f

Correcting
I resolved it by:
removing pidgin, gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
installing then pidgin, this worked fine.
