Well empathy is looking for libtelepathy-logger.so.2 but the new .so is libtelepathy-logger.so.3.2.0 (0.6.0-1
So wait for a telepathy update
In meantime you could downgrade to previous -
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-logger/0.4.0-2

or create a tmp symlink, Ex. on 64 bit install
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtelepathy-logger.so.3.2.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtelepathy-logger.so.2
