This bug also affects Hardy, with latest updates - Kopete version 0.12.7 on KDE 3.5.10.

There's also a 'warning only' variant of this bug: I have been getting warnings from Yahoo Admin on this version, though I can still log in for now. Presumably Yahoo will stop warning at some point and simply turn off the old authentication mechanism.

I have managed to compiled Kopete from KDE 4.3.1 and bundled it together with the required KDE and Qt dependencies as a tarball - quite a big download but for those who don't want to switch to Pidgin or upgrade from Hardy, it might provide a temporary solution.

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7937521 for more about this tarball and a download link.

Since this bug is affecting people on Hardy, I would like to propose this is backported to Hardy - though it might be more efficient to simply backport the patch to KDE 3.5.10 rather than build KDE 4.3.1. Worth checking if SUSE has done a backport already.
