Hi again,
Which protocols are you seeing no buddies for? Are you actually connected
to the accounts (see in Accounts->Manage Accounts... From the buddy list)
and set to Online/Available in the buddy list?
What protocols are you unable to connect to? You might need to email though
a debug log from Help->Debug Window as you reconnect to the account to be
able to see what's going on with things and work out why you aren't seeing
any buddies.
Also make sure you cc in the support@ mailing list in case someone else is
able to help with your problem.
Cheers,
Eion

Thanks Elion,
Right on the dot ! I renamed the file /usr/lib/pidgin/encrypt.so and that
makes pidgin stable at launch.
But apparently there is more to it than just that. Apparently None of my
buddies can see me online and vice versa.
I will do what you advise, i.e. contact with Bill Tompkins of
Pidgin-Encryption. In fact I just opened a ticket in
https://ourceforge.net/p/
pidgin-encrypt/support-request
I am tempted to purge and reinstall all but I will wait in case I am asked
to run more debug test on my broken pidgin install. Meanwhile I have no
pidgin.
Again thank you.

Hi Cedric,
This looks like it's crashing in the pidgin-encription plugin. Try
uninstalling this plugin (or disabling by removing
/usr/lib/pidgin/encrypt.so) and try again.
You might also want to pass the backtrace onto the authors of that plugin
to see if they can offer any advice on any workarounds or fixes.
Cheers,
Eion
