[SOLVED]New Skype version

Postby mackowiakp » Jun 21st, '14, 10:50

I try to install new version of Skype -> skype-4.3.0.37-fedora.i586.rpm on my M4 64 bit system. Older version works without problems.
But I got warning about wrong version of libXScrnSaver. But libxscrnsaver1-1.2.2-3.mga4.i586 is already installed.
Any idea what is wrong?

Why do you try to install Fedora version? Their package names are different. Why do I write the MAQeia if nobody reads it? viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1121

Often but not always you can symlink the missing library to the local equivalent, and it will work.

Is it possible to include new versions of get-skype in M4 repo in future? Or add individual repo for it?

No and latter depends on you. You can add as many repos as you want. You can even put skype in its own repo.
