The emerge info you pasted was of kopete-4.3.0, so that's where I got that idea. If you're on Kopete 3.x that's probably the source of all your problems. If it's not being actively updated for the new protocol changes, you're lucky it even works at all on yahoo. I personally use pidgin and whenever the yahoo changes happen they've usually got a new version released a day or two later.
