I have the same error since upgrading to 13.04. However, I could not solve it with the workaround in #12 (I do not even have prelink installed); also no success with purging/reinstalling everything skype-related. I am also unable to use ubuntu-bug, getting an error "This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again". However, I straced it, maybe this helps.
