Trying to install Yahoo Messenger with GDebi
When I try to do this I get a message that YM needs libssl0.9.6 which
is unavailable. My 7.10 installation does, however, contain an installation of libssl0.9.8 which I assume is just an updated version. Is there any way to get GDebi or KDebi or KPackage to force an install with the newer version of this library??? |

Just a thought, have you tried pidgin? It's in the repositories and is YM capable. $ sudo apt-get install pidgin -- Moog "Some mornings it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps." |

My real need here is to get this package issue solved. |

That libssl0.9.6 problem has apparently continued through several releases of Ubuntu, so this old post elsewhere may help :- http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/deb...-ubuntu-2.html http://tinyurl.com/2w88ul -- |

The version of yahoo messenger available for ubuntu is very old and should not be used. Try one of the other compatible programs such as pidgen or kopete. |
