If you don't have a packaged version of pidgin installed and you are
certain you successfully removed your installation of 2.4.0 (and you don't
have an extra binary of pidgin lying around /usr/bin, with associated
data, from somewhere) then I'm not sure offhand what your problem is.

This sort of thing is almost always an issue of mismatched versions/pieces
of versions lying around. Did you perhaps maybe build 2.4.1 while 2.4.0
was installed? (That shouldn't matter, but I don't know.)
