This bug is not fixed! I just tried to upgrade from Precise to Quantal.
do-release-upgrade failed for some reason, and now dpkg fails with:
dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 29257 package
'odbcinst':
mixed non-coinstallable and coinstallable package instances present
@xnox
I tried dist-upgrade, but it failed too. Note it's not just Skype, it's
libc6-dev and some other packages.
Not sure if this is an appropriate place for discussions not related to the
bug, but it all started when I upgraded to quantal and at this point I have no
clue how to get out of

The problem is that people who tripped over this bug cannot use the

question is how to fix the systems that this bug already trashed.
I got out
I updated the bug description with recovery pointers.

You do not seem to be affect by this dpkg bug, instead you have just regular

To add more details to such problem, I tried to revert the source as:
sudo sed -i.dist 's,quantal,precise,' /etc/apt/sources.list
and then did the update and dist-upgrade. The same error persist:
