I don't understand. Here is the download page for Yahoo Messenger. They have RPMs for RPM-based distros and .deb for Debian-based distros (including Ubuntu).

I tend to agree. The Linux vrsion of Yahoo messenger sucks. Gaim much better.

If you really have to have the YIM use the one for Debian, since Ubuntu is a Debian based distro it will work.
