Thanks for the hint, apparently that was indeed the case. apt-get
install --reinstall pidgin-sipe fixed this; the output of apt-cache
policy made me believe I had installed the package from the official
precise repo.
Sorry for the noise, thanks for your help.

Indeed, are you sure you have the version from the archive and not a
local build?

Title:
libsipe.so is linked against missing libgmime-2.4.so.2
Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. This does not seem to be the
case on my system with the version from the archive. Could you please
paste the output of ldd /usr/lib/purple-2/libsipe.so?

$ ldd /usr/lib/purple-2/libsipe.so
linux-vdso.so.1 = (0x7fff621ff000)
libpurple.so.0 = /usr/lib/libpurple.so.0 (0x7f4f0a7da000)
libgmime-2.4.so.2 = /usr/lib/libgmime-2.4.so.2 (0x7f4f0a56f000)
libnss3.so = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss3.so
BTW: readelf -a /usr/lib/purple-2/libsipe.so | grep NEEDED shows that
the link is indeed directly from libsipe.so and not from some secondary
library.
