When you do sudo apt-get install pidgin Pidgin (like many, many others packages) will recommend you a lot of GTK dependencies if you don't have a Gnome DE (Desktop Environment). This is because the package should integrate much better with those package.
To avoid this behavior and just install the package with his *dependencies* and no 'Suggests' (in debian/control file) dependencies, run this: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends pidgin I'm marking this bug as Opinion since it's not a really bug.
