Comment:

 > There's nothing pidgin related in that backtrace.

 I simply followed your instructions for acquiring the backtrace.

 > Can you make sure you have all the necessary debug symbols installed and
 get the backtrace
 > again?

 Sure if you can tell me how to install the necessary debug symbols.

 > Also what, other than pidgin, was upgraded when you ran 'apt-get
 upgrade'?

 Many things other than pidgin were upgraded.

 > Was pidgin running when the upgrade happened and crashed shortly
 thereafter?

 No, all apps were closed before the upgrade.

 > Does pidgin continually crash now?

 Yes unless (from another ticket):

 > I just discovered that running pidgin as root seems to cure the problem
 I reported yesterday:
 >
 > # nohup pidgin &

 And:
 > Running as root is not a solution nor is it a good idea.

 I am aware of that, I thought that this information might help you give me
 information.

 I liked Pidgin but can't get it to run again ... have been using it for
 several years now.
