Description:
I'm not sure whether "pidgin" isn't mentioned as a dependency deliberately, or whether it was just forgotten. However I think that "pidgin-gfire" should depend on "pidgin", so pidgin will be pulled in. If you deliberately just want to provide the library, maybe it should be called something like "libpurple-gfire" and "pidgin-gfire" should depend on that.

I think its quite surprising that you end up with "pidgin-gfire" installed, but "pidgin" missing. Other distributions handle this differently from what I can remember.
This task depends upon
