I figured out that there was something wrong with pidgin-data, for some
reason it wasn't being upgraded and it was the old version. I unloaded
it and loaded it again and I was able to install pidgin. So the problem
wasn't with perl-api, I looked a little closer and that was just masking
the real problem.

Title:
pidgin will not install due to problem with perlapi
Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
When I try to install pidgin, I get an error. Looking at the detail,
I see:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pidgin: Depends: perlapi-5.14.2 but it is a virtual package
I tried installing perlapi by hand, but that doesn't make a difference.
perlapi reports that it only supports up to 5.13.
