Thanks for this update ? based on this i looked deeper and found that the indirect dependency with libmeanwhile1 (pidgin->libpurple0->libmeanwhile1) on jessie is the problem, i removed pidgin, added the wheezy repo and installed libmeanwhile1 from here and re-installed pidgin from jessie repo ? and it’s working; jessie contains libmeanwhile1 version 1.0.2-5 → not working wheezy contains libmeanwhile1 version 1.0.2-4 → working details for fix on jessie: created /etc/apt/preferences.d/ jessie.pref: Package: * Pin: release a=jessie Pin-Priority: 900 created /etc/apt/preferences.d/ wheezy.pref: Package: * Pin: release a=wheezy Pin-Priority: 600 added wheezy repo to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free # jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free # jessie-backports, previously on backports.debian.org deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main contrib non-free retrieve package list: apt-get update remove libmeanwhile and dependencies: dpkg --purge libmeanwhile1 libpurple0 libpurple-bin pidgin pidgin-data install libmeanwhile from wheezy: apt-get -t wheezy install libmeanwhile1 re-install pidgin from jessie: apt-get install pidgin pidgin-data hth, Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
