Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
After upgrading to hardy, I'm unable to start pidgin. I've tried the
following:
* Downloading tarball and building from source.
* Deleting my old ~/.purple and ~/.gaim directories.
Neither seems to work. I've tried installing pidgin-dbgsym, but even
with that installed, I'm unable to get a traceback with debugging
symbols. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong in trying to get those
symbols:
Install pidgin-dbgsym:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdb pidgin
