Skype hasn't upgraded their Linux client in ages. I don't think un-commenting this ppa would work. They publish .deb packages for download on their website.

For skype, do I want to uncomment this line so that, if and when the binary is updated, that apt- get will grab the new version? When upgrading from 9.x to 10.04 this ppa was apparently commented out: thufir@ARRAKIS:~$ nl /etc/apt/sources.list | grep skype 48 # deb <a href="http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/" target="_blank">http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/</a> stable non- free #Skype disabled on upgrade to lucid thufir@ARRAKIS:~$ thufir@ARRAKIS:~$ skype --version Skype 2.1.0.81 Copyright (c) 2004-2009, Skype Limited thufir@ARRAKIS:~$ thanks, Thufir -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a onclick="return false;" href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
