Bug Description

When I upgraded skype today using update manager I get the following error

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/skype_2.0.0.63-1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/icons/skype.png', which is also in package skype-common

skype-common is version 2.0.0.43-0medibuntu2. Fixed by uninstalling skype and skype-common, and then installing skype again.

Thanks for your bug report.
This new skype 2.0.0.63-1 package doesn't come from us, I guess it comes from the skype repository, so there's nothing we can do.

I've updated our packages to the latest upstream release. But they won't get updated automatically if you installed the package from skype.com, since their revision is lesser than skype.com one (2.0.0.63-0medibuntu0.7.10.1 << 2.0.0.63-1).
