The pidgin-ppa package does somewhat support Linux Mint because a number of people use our PPA that way. Basically, I have a mapping table between the Linux Mint releases and their underlying Ubuntu releases. As long as a given Linux Mint release remains binary compatible with that Ubuntu release, the pidgin/libpurple/finch packages *should* work, but if they don't, I'll only care to the extent that I want to know so I can disable that version of Linux Mint in the mapping table. I'll try to deal with this tomorrow when I (hopefully) get to packaging 2.7.7. Richard
