Duplicate Skype (skype:i386) entries shown

[Christopher Kyle Horton]

When I search for Skype in the Ubuntu Software Center, it finds two Skype (skype:i386) entries right next to each other, with no discernable difference between them. They behave like one entry; in the attached screenshot, I only clicked the Install button for the first entry, and both of them showed identical progress bars; now when I reopen the Software Center, it still shows both entries and they're both marked as installed.

It should be noted that Skype still appears to have been successfully installed, and I can run it with few problems.

Hi! Thanks for your bug report. The bug you describe has been fixed in the app-install-data-commercial codebase. There are a few other changes I would like to make in app-install-data-commercial before it next gets uploaded, so it may be a little while until the fix becomes available in oneiric-updates. I would like to point out however that this is indeed a duplicate entry, ie both skype entries install the same package. Please continue to report any bugs you may find in software-center. Thanks again for your help!
