Same here:
u...@jaunty$ dpkg-query -W pidgin libxml2
libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4
pidgin 1:2.5.5-1ubuntu7
I tracked down the problem. It happens when the jabber plugin reads the
custom buddy icon from the local cache "~/.purple/icons/".
u...@jaunty$ grep 'protocol\|buddy_icon' ~/.purple/accounts.xml
<protocol>prpl-jabber</protocol>
<setting name='buddy_icon'
type='string'>c0fe6764000aa9099bb6a1cf961a92f07ce397fc.png</setting>
<setting name='buddy_icon_timestamp'
type='int'>1224082285</setting>
If I delete the buddy icon, it starts correctly.
u...@jaunty$ rm -f
~/.purple/icons/c0fe6764000aa9099bb6a1cf961a92f07ce397fc.png
