[Bug 1180857] Re: libglib2.37.0 kills skype on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Skype for Linux 4.2 has been released:
http://blogs.skype.com/2013/05/20/skype-for-linux-4-2/

It takes care of a few Skype issues in Ubuntu, including the glib 2.37
one. Consequently, as soon as Skype 4.2 has made it into the Ubuntu
archive, the glib2.0 revert patch can be dropped. Reopening the glib2.0
task as a reminder.

** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => Triaged
