It does stick out as a common culprit of all ills, doesn't it.  :-)

Another more tedious thing to try after that is to use your favourite
package manager to state you want the old versions mentioned in the log
file of each of the batch of packages that fell in one update, e.g.
9.0.2-0ubuntu0.1 of libgl1-mesa-dri above.  AFAICS, that should
effectively be a `rollback' of the transaction that updated that batch
of packages.  Presumably, you wouldn't have to go back further than when
Skype was last working.  I've never tried doing this though.  :-)

Cheers, Ralph.
