[Bug 725357] [NEW] A backport of fetchyahoo is needed because old maverick/natty version (2.12.4-1) is not usable anymore due to recent Yahoo service changes.

[PhobosK]

Public bug reported:

The now present version of fetchyahoo in maverick and natty is not usable anymore due to recent changes in the Yahoo service.
A backport (and probably update) is needed so the package could be of any use.
I have built the latest upstream version in my ppa (for maverick only) and have tested it on maverick for almost a month and it works ok - https://launchpad.net/~phobosk/+archive/phobosk-ppa/
I am attaching the sources debdiff of fetchyahoo_2.12.4-1.dsc against fetchyahoo_2.14.0-1.dsc (considering the 2.14.0 will be added in maverick-backports)
There is another bug that depends on this one - bug #503954...
