Bug Description

From apt-get dist-upgrade:
   Unpacking replacement unity-asset-pool ...
   dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/unity-asset-pool_0.8.24daily13.03.29-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/skype.png', which is also in package skype 4.2.0.7-1
   dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
and later at the end of dist-upgrade...
   Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/unity-asset-pool_0.8.24daily13.03.29-0ubuntu1_all.deb
   E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I don't understand why unity-asset-pool carries with it a non-replaceable Skype icon which appears only to affect any upgrades to unity-asset-pool itself?

The error does not affect installation, removal or reinstallation in place of Skype builds.

The icon does not appear to originate from Skype, but from within the Ubuntu build.

Trying to bugreport it using the prompting dialogue only results in a curt message that an error cannot be reported because the skype package is not an Ubuntu approved package. (Which is really a different problem, but still a problem)

That doesn't smell right at so many levels...

Please, have someone check it out.

It's seems to have glitch with ownership of icons. :P
