Hi Dmitri,

i think i also saw a recent breakage in squeeze building, that time related to 
some missing package dependencies. But now it at least works for the default 
package set again.

But in this case it seems more like a general incompatiblity for the purple 
module to the new version of the development headers, or a bug in the purple 
package. In lenny there is 2.4.3, in squeeze they updated to 2.7.1. On my 
(ubuntu) system it works also, here 2.6.2 is present. Also possible that the 
packages misses some dependencies, like libglib2.0-dev?

Cheers,

Henning
