The latest Yahoo messenger in Gentoo portage database, namely 0.99-****, will not run with Yahoo servers anymore. Yahoo released the new version, ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386 for Linux, so an ebuild is needed for this version. I guess this must be a major Yahoo Messenger release since versions of the Messenger below 1 are completely incapacitated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run Yahoo Messenger, any version below 1, (/opt/ymessenger/bin/ymessenger) 2. 3. Actual Results: The message from Yahoo comes up: "You are using an older version of Yahoo! Messenger that is no longer supported. Please upgrade by downloading the newest version by going to: http://messenger.yahoo.com/" Expected Results: It should have let me log on to Yahoo :)
