I'm in a *great* mood. "I'm too lazy to read my error messages, please do it for me" questions should not be encouraged. Just because a computer has a monitor doesn't mean it's a TV screen.

There's no dependancy loop.
Messages appear for a reason...for you to READ THEM.
Computers are not interactive TV sets, in which only scant attention need be paid to written messages...computer messages contain important details, which you are expected to pay attention to.
Let's look at the messages above:
They say that pidgin-2.3.0-3.1.i586 needs libpurple2.3.0, and that libpurple2.2.1 is needed by pidgen-2.2.1-7.1.i586.
There's no loop there...the dependance is parallel:
pidgin-2.3.0-3.1.i586 needs libpurple2.3.0 pidgen-2.2.1-7.1.i586 needs libpurple2.2.1
If you get rid of pidgen-2.2.1-7.1..i586, then you don't need libpurple2.2.1 any more, do you.
