<br>
I downloaded it, installed it using the software centre and all seemed<br>
to go well, but when run it displayed version 4.2 and said "Skype can't<br>
connect".<br>
<br>
So I used "apt-get remove skype", and that too seemed to go well. Trying<br>
to run skype failed, no such command.<br>
<br>
Then I installed again, this time using dpkg. Again all seemed to go<br>
well. When run from the command line with the "--version" option it<br>
reports "Skype 4.3.0.37", but the login window it opens when run<br>
normally is "Skype 4.2 for Linux".<br>
<br>
Further attempts to install from the downloaded .deb file led into<br>
dependency hell (which is odd, that didn't happen the first couple of<br>
times).<br>
<br>
Is there a quick fix? Plenty of people seem to be using the later<br>
version...<br>
<br>

I think there's a purge command or you might be able to remove it completely using synaptic. Not sure if I helped any.<br>
