I have upgraded to kopete 0.12.1 beta. I use kubuntu /KDE 3.5.0. When I try to connect to kopete it will keep the icon flashing and say "connecting" not "conected" I have checked and reset my password. This is using Yahoo

I apoligize if this should be a new thread. I downloaded the beta 2 and tried to install it. This is what I get. Being a newbie I do not understand where to go from here.

Can you help?

I have a glibc-docs that is not installed. Adept does not show a glibc-devel
I have the other one installed.
