Actually there is a Debian repository for Skype at skype.com, which seems to work for Ubuntu too and installs the latest version.
However, it has few drawbacks: 1. It is only for i386. 2. It is not authenticated. To use the skype.com repository you need first to remove Medibuntu's skype and skype-common packages, and then run the following commands from the shell: echo deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free >/tmp/skype.list sudo cp /tmp/skype.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install skype You need to answer 'y' when it asks you if you want to install non- authinticated package. -- Move to -staging/remove skype packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494564 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Medibuntu Packaging Team, which is the registrant for Medibuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~medibuntu-maintainers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~medibuntu-maintainers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
