As of yesterday (?) the following version of libotr5 is installed: $ aptitude show libotr5 Package: libotr5 State: installed Automatically installed: yes Version: 4.1.0-1
and indeed this seems to solve the bug. Pidgin starts and connects as expected. I have not yet tried to use OTR but can test it if necessary. I'm afraid I don't know the exact version of libotr5 that was previously installed. Thank you for the fix!
