Description Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2017-02-27 21:11:15 UTC 
At some point of time for unknown reasons pidgin package stopped inheriting gnome2.eclass with a comment of
# mimicking gnome2_src_install as that one is banned for >=EAPI-6 (*sigh*)
(which I don't think to be true since years, if ever).

Ever since then, pidgin has failed to do the xdg-utils and gnome2-utils dance of updating various caches; so for example a freshly installed pidgin doesn't show an application icon in gnome-shell until something else is installed/upgraded/removed that happens to properly call gnome2_icon_cache_update from gnome2-utils.eclass in postinst and postrm.
