Please somebody remove skype from partner repository, aka "Bug 1280109"
Hi ubuntu developers, I'll keep the question as simple as it is: skype stopped working because of some protocol updates, and needs an update. Nobody took care of updating it since 5 months. Canonical claims that skype is officially supported via partner repository, if this isn't the case anymore, and since skype is a non free tool in my opinion we should update or remove. Users shouldn't be allowed to install a broken package from an official archive. BTW there are many bugs against skype, and many of them are easily reproducible and just missing runtime dependencies, I really would like to package a fixed skype version, but the launchpad ppa policy doesn't allow me.
