 From http://bugs.debian.org/656190 (not sure if this can be fixed, but
 perhaps the error message can be better):

 Pidgin 2.10.1 (libpurple 2.10.1) was configured for Google talk
 but it fails to connect with the message "Der Server benutzt keine der
 unterstützten Authentifizierungsmethoden",
 in english: "Server does not use any supported authentication method",
 which is not true(see below).

 I figured out that this occurs when the hostname in /etc/hostname
 doesn't match the one in /etc/hosts. After adapting the two entries,
 Pidgin connected fine.

 The relevant part of the debug log:
