This might only happen if you have pidgin-facebookchat installed (as I did). If you remove pidgin-facebookchat and then update it works. However I found that:
sudo aptitude remove pidgin-facebookchat
failed with the first solution:
Upgrade the following packages: 7-1ubuntu0+ pidgin1. 10.04 (now) -> 1:2.7.9- 1ubuntu0+ pidgin1. 10.04 (lucid)]
pidgin-data [1:2.7.
but worked with the second:
Downgrade the following packages: 9-1ubuntu0+ pidgin1. 10.04 (lucid, now) -> 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4.3 (lucid-proposed)] 7-1ubuntu0+ pidgin1. 10.04 (now) -> 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4.3 (lucid-proposed)]
pidgin [1:2.7.
pidgin-data [1:2.7.
