I think that the package pidgin-ppa is made for Ubuntu but not for Debian.
To remove the package open a terminal and load the post removal script file in an editor.
Code:
sudo leafpad /var/lib/dpkg/info/pidgin-ppa.postrm
The idea is to mark the command line producing the error message as a comment.
The post removal script has got a line "apt-key del ..." which I commented out.
Code:
!/bin/sh -e
# vim: ai ts=4 sts=4 et sw=4
if [ "$1" = "remove" ]; then
# apt-key del 67265EB522BDD6B1C69E66ED7FB8BEE0A1F196A8
rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list
fi
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ "$1" = "purge" ] ; then
update-rc.d pidgin-ppa remove >/dev/null
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installdebconf
if [ "$1" = purge ] && [ -e /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ]; then
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
db_purge
fi
# End automatically added section
Save the file and exit the editor.
Issue the following commands in the terminal.
Code:
sudo dpkg -l pidgin-ppa
sudo dpkg --purge pidgin-ppa
sudo dpkg -l pidgin-ppa
The last command should show that the package is not installed anymore.
You can find a package of pidgin in the Debian testing (Wheezy) software repository.
I hope that helps.

editing /var/lib/dpkg/info/pidgin-ppa.postrm
and commenting
apt-key del 67265EB522BDD6B1C69E66ED7FB8BEE0A1F196A8
worked fine
