[Bug 1013258] Re: Please update Skype to new upstream v.4.0

[Jan Iwaszkiewicz]

What  I hoped to find in this bug report is some indication when the new
version is likely to appear in the Canonical repo. Deas someone know
whether it's days, weeks, months, after some OK from Skype, never? Thank
you.
