Pidgin on Debian Not installable?
Guys: For the past month or so, I've been unable to get Pidgin to stay on my system.
I've been trying several debian based distros for the past two months, so I can solve two problems; Debian 7.5, to 8's KDE is so buggy as is unuseable and I don't want to wait a year or more to get a more updated version.
Also I've been wanting to go completely 64bit and 64bit Debian is equally a pain in the tail. I started on 7.5, and it's upgraded to v8 but KDE still won't work well so I'm oving to another distro.
I've tried SoyadDKDE, Kubuntu, Linux Mint Debian Edition, and now just Linux Mint KDE and all have the same problem. After an upgrade, pidgin is removed, siting depdency problems.
This is unacceptable, I have to use Pidgin in my work, and not being able to keep it is making it very difficult.
How can I resolve this problem? I've been hearing reports that Debian is imploding, so is several distros bsaed on it (see above). Pidgin is impossible to install via source code, and there isn't any .DEB to use. Should I just wait a bit, use something else until Pidgin is working again? Or is there a way to install an old version, via a repository?
