Bug Description

The software source for Skype doesn't work yet in Maverick, although it is displayed. That's really buggin me. Please get it out of the sources list til it works (and no 404 is displayed every time, really annoying). Thanks.

I've enabled the Skype source too, but I haven't got any 404 report. Could you please give me some output? I want to know more information. Thanks.

I use Ubuntu Maverick amd64. It's a fresh install and not updated from Lucid. Maybe it's because of the architecture. I tried to look on http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ for a 64 bit package but it's forbidden to view. I deleted Skype source manually with Synaptic and reactivated the Source in Ubuntu-Tweak, but the same thing happens.
Ubuntu-Tweak version is 0.5.8.
It's not that big problem, because Skype is also available in Ubuntu sources meanwhile, but it would be really nice if I could keep up-to-date with original sources (I have some problem when showing my own cam in the cam field when the other partner also activated his cam and I hope this will change in a newer version; strange cutted pic).

Thanks for your information.

It seems Skype doesn't provide the amd64 version of Skype for Linux, there's http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/skype-2.1.0.81-1_i386.deb

But no amd64, so I will try to disable the source display in Ubuntu Tweak.
