This bug has been re-filed against the skype package for Ubuntu. However, there is no skype package present in any supported version of Ubuntu.

If you installed skype as a .deb package, you should be able to uninstall it using synaptic (not installed by default), or using apt or dpkg from the commandline.

Changed in skype (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Invalid

thank you very much for this. I found skype finally under a folder sort of hidden .unknown and was able to de-install it and re-install it only two days ago and it seems to work fine now... it's great to know about this other way with synaptic though i was really at a loss, being blocked for something that simple... ill keep it in mind. thank you.
