Thanks for sharing this solution. I’ve been having the same problem for over a year now and this is the only solution that works. Thanks to Radu for devising it, and thanks to you for sharing it with the world!

Yeah, and if you edited /etc/hosts, you have to un-edit it for the upgraded Pidgin to work.
