[Debian-on-mobile-maintainers] Bug#1011166: pidgin breaks chatty autopkgtest: error while loading shared libraries: libjabber.so.0

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of pidgin the autopkgtest of chatty fails in 
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of pidgin 
from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In 
tabular form:

                        pass            fail
pidgin                 from testing    2.14.9-2
chatty                 from testing    0.6.3-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. I note that 
the library moved location from /usr/lib/purple-2/libjabber.so.0.0.0 to 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/purple-2/libjabber.so.0.0.0. Naively I would 
have expected it to be picked up, but maybe the /purple-2 in the middle 
of the path is preventing that.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of pidgin to testing 
[1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against 
both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the 
bug to the right package?

[0] You can see what packages were added from the second line of the log 
file quoted below. The migration software adds source package from 
unstable to the list if they are needed to install packages from 
pidgin/2.14.9-2. I.e. due to versioned dependencies or breaks/conflicts.
