package: pidgin severity:serious version: 2.6.1-1 tags: patch
Since the pidgin package re-enabled network manager it cannot be built on non-linux architectures leaving out of date packages on those architectures. I have enquired about the portability of network-manager and been told it is unlikely to be ported any time soon.
Once 2.6.2-1 is in testing (the bsd architectures currently seem to be being ignored in testing transition while they catch up and IMO getting crash fixes to linux users is more important than this bug) please apply the attatched patch to only build with network-manager on linux architectures.
note: the severity is based on the assumption that since kfreebsd-* is in testing (though currently ignored for testing transisions) and is listed as "at-risk" on the requalification page it is to be treated as a release architecture until such time as a final acceptance/rejection descision is made. if you believe this is incorrect feel free to downgrade.
