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:
