Leandro, it seems we agree that deleting the folder is not a requirement. For now I added a note about that under "Frequently Ask Questions (F.A.Q.) about upgrading Skype" section at https://wiki.debian.org/skype#Upgrading_Skype
In some cases delete the ".Skype" folder is useful. But I agree it's not a required step during each upgrade. How does that sound? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: https://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
