[Bug 1068422] Re: Skype unable to install
Ah, I can confirm that the software-properties dialog lists this mirror. It's shown as "Last update unknown" on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors, but this doesn't seem to prevent it from being included in the search list. This may be a bug in the mirror list, which ought to prune mirrors that aren't up to date. python-apt hasn't been updated for a while anyway though, so fixing the list on the website wouldn't have helped. I think we need to regard this as a bug in software-properties; "Select Best Server" shouldn't give you a mirror that's demonstrably out of date. ** Package changed: skype (Ubuntu) => software-properties (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed ** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Summary changed: - Skype unable to install + Software-properties mirror selection may pick an out-of-date mirror -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068422 Title: Software-properties mirror selection may pick an out-of-date mirror To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1068422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks. It appears your system is configured to use an unofficial mirror of Ubuntu which is out of date. Configuring your system to use an official mirror in the software properties will allow you to install the package.

I've got the same problem, also on 64 bit Ubuntu 12.10. I've scanned the forums and askubuntu for this problem and at least one other person affected by this bug used Wubi to install Ubuntu which I did too, so this might be related if it should turn out that Arup also used Wubi since Skype seems to install fine for the majority of people. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068422 Title: Skype unable to install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/1068422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
