It says "no such file or directory". It can't find the file.

Shouldn't it be in the /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder?
Code:
user:/home/user> ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/pidgin_*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1265688 Nov  7 11:22 /var/cache/apt/archives/pidgin_2.7.5-2nix0_armel.deb
What you should try is dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/pidgin_2.7.5-2nix0_armel.deb

And you should upgrade your libpurple as well if you haven't don't that already
