Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

What package do I have to install to get what it expects? I have everything mentioned here installed.

"abort: stream ended unexpectedly (got 0 bytes, expected 4)" - something broke there when doing the mercurial checkout, no idea what. Maybe use the release tarballs, those have that part predownloaded

[Avamander]

What does it download though? Maybe I can download manually?

[dequis]

See update.sh. hg clone of https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main at the commit specified in the VERSION file, plus some more fiddling

i am getting a similar error:

File to patch:

it will not go any further than this. i too have all dependencies installed

[jshand2015]

please get this fixed as soon as possible as opensuse has still got the version that tls 1.3 issues were happening

[dequis]

The latest version of update.sh now aborts as soon as something throws an error, so it's going to be less confusing.

You can also use the release tarballs to not go through mercurial at all.
