I just noticed that pidgin provides its own CA certificates in /usr/share/purple/ca-certs. It might be a good idea to use the ones provided by the new ca-certificates package instead.

BTW, I don't use neither pidgin nor these certificates so I can't say if the pidgin's feature that uses them will still work with the certificates provided by ca-certificates. This FR is just to let you know about this situation.
This task depends upon

I think I got this working locally (required a patch), and even opened/fixed a pidgin bug (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6036) in the process. I'll test for a few days locally and then push this out.

Please don't close my bugs unless you make a note first on something like this...this is fixed upstream in a *future* version but I want to remember to make the changes necessary when 2.5.0 comes out.

A note for pidgin and the upcoming 2.5.0 release- they added a new
configure option that replaces our need to patch for the certificate
location, so the patch can be removed with that release and the
following change made to the PKGBUILD (in addition to all the patch
removal):
