It's a long time issue but not resolved. Please fix the bug. Got some info there :

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=764584

the culprit is libmeanwhile1 lib. Please update the lib so that pidgin supports sametime login. I tested with older libmeanwhile1 libs and worked fine but ubuntu provided atest lib not working. Hence please upadate the latest libmeanwhile1 lib.

This issue is not related to pidgin, but meanwhile

Still it is affecting pidgin. I tried again and I was unable to login.

Thanks Breno for the patch! Looks like you got it into Debian and then it got synced to Ubuntu:

meanwhile (1.0.2-9) unstable; urgency=medium

  * QA upload.
  * Fix a login issue due to code optimization. Closes: #764494
