Same here.
Looking at <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/farstream/farstream>, it
seems that this is currently unmaintained.
I propose the attached patch in the interim.
WDYT?
In the meantime, I used these definitions in my own configuration, which
you may find useful:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define pidgin-sans-farstream
;; Work around <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/75739>.
(package/inherit pidgin
(arguments
(substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments pidgin)
((#:configure-flags flags #~'())
;; Disable voice/video due to lack of Farstream.
#~(cons "--disable-vv" #$flags))))
(inputs
(modify-inputs (package-inputs pidgin)
(delete "farstream")
;; Pidgin expects "gst-plugins-base" to be among its inputs.
(append (specification->package "gst-plugins-base"))))))
(define sans-farstream
(package-input-rewriting `((,pidgin . ,pidgin-sans-farstream))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And then:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service bitlbee-service-type
(bitlbee-configuration
(bitlbee (sans-farstream bitlbee-purple))
(plugins (list (sans-farstream purple-mattermost)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
