My problem has been resolved by the following:
1. Use apt-get to remove "pidgin-data" package
2. In "System>Administration>Software Sources>Updates disable the backports
repo by removing the checkmark
3. Adding the following ppa to the list in "System>Administration>Software
Sources>Third-Party Software"
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/andreas-moog/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/andreas-moog/ubuntu hardy main
4. Close the Software Sources screen
5. Run "sudo apt-get install pidgin" to re-install Pidgin.
It would appear that doing this does not affect one's configs/profile.
Found I could still get to my saved logs, and all subscribed channels
were still in place.
