Comment(by koyote):

 Guys,

 in my computer had a old libppurple and was NOT WORKING:

 # pidgin --version
 Pudgin version Pidgin 2.7.7 (libpurple 2.7.5)

 After removing all libpurple references at Synaptic,recompile and running
 again:
 Pidgin 2.7.7 (libpurple 2.7.7)

 WORKED!

 It has already been discused in the comments, but too exaust to read it
 all.
 Maybe should help if the bug had a SOLUTION field on the top of this page,
 something like:

 SOLUTION:
 Removing all pidgin and libpurple packages, and checking if is running the
 current version: Pidgin 2.7.7 (libpurple 2.7.7)


 Ahhh, and for linux users experience is hard to download source, compile
 and making. For me is very easy that im a developer, but for my family is
 not like this =)

 I understand the Ubuntu or any OS that not update other softwares on the
 fly during a stable release.

 To help not experienced linux users at least provide a source link to use
 at APT (apt-get, synaptic..), or the new version already to install.

 Anyway, pidgin is a great tool.. good job guys!
