   I cannot what so ever login to facebook for pidgin (which i have always used fine on other numerous linux OS's).

   After entering all the correct info, I'm recieving:

   "SSL Certificate Error: Unable to Validate Certificate. The certificate for chat.facebook.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid"

   I have downloaded the correct .pem certificate and tried doing it manually, i still recieved this error.

   I read that the updated pidgin versions have fixed this, but i only see the option to install Pidgin 2.10.1 and can't upgrade..

   I was able to compile on 4.0 using the pidgin receipt from cooking.
   Try this: http://www.mediafire.com/download/pvcm2td5397m2rg/pidgin-2.10.9.tazpkg
   tazpkg install pidgin-2.10.9.tazpkg

   you're the man bro, worked! using Facebook (XMPP) rather than using the pidgin-facebookchat plugin, thank you!

   Good we worked it out, it will be added to the stable-backports repository.
