I recently installed Pidgin and tried to install pidgin-facebookchat. Ubuntu software center now says that pidgin is corrupt so I press repair but nothing gets fixed.
I've tried sudo apt-get purge pidgin but I get this error:

I got Error installing rpm package of Pidgin. I am using Linux fedora 17 OS.

error: Failed dependencies:
libgtkspell.so.0()(64bit) is needed by pidgin-2.10.5-1.fc17.x86_64
I was installing pidgin-otr through the terminal and for some reason i got an error saying that the package was incomplete, after a little searching on the forums i found the command to force-remove the pidgin and pidgin-otr package, and after i re-installed it was fine.
strange problem though, maybe i was trying to do too many things at once?

Is there a way that when you click an IRC url (such as irc://##linux) that it will open Pidgin? I believe it has something to do with gconf-editor, but I do not know the terminal command to start an IRC chat in Pidgin.
I am using Linux Mint, if that matters.
Good news for all the pidgin fans, Pidgin developers have announced the release of the brand new Pidgin 2.7.0. This release brings a lot of protocol support improvements, bug fixes and new features. Major changes include a better search dialog, better integration in the notification area, fixing some msn relates security issues and a lot more.
I don't know in which scenario should I suggest you to use a console based IM client but I came across Finch for the first time while trying to save my laptop's battery life during power cuts by shifting to old school console . I am not sure whether my basic aim was fulfilled or not but it was fun seeing what ncurses could do :).
