    Status: Open => Answered

SaschaVogt proposed the following answer:
Did you read the output of my command?
It said: E: Unable to find a source package for pidgin

As a result, no packages were installed, and therefore libdbus is still
not available.

I guess you do not have universe and multiverse package repositories enabled? Open synaptic and go the Settings -> Repositories and enable universe and multiverse. After that, repeat the command from above:
sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
