    Skype not upgrading

    Tried to upgrade Skype today, but it won't upgrade. Here's the message I get

    dpkg: considering removing skype-bin in favour of skype ...dpkg: no, cannot proceed with removal of skype-bin (--auto-deconfigure will help):
    skype depends on skype-bin
    skype-bin is to be removed.
    dpkg: regarding .../skype-ubuntu-precise_4.2.0.11-1_i386.deb containing skype:
    skype conflicts with skype-bin
    skype-bin (version 4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) is present and installed.
    dpkg: error processing /home/john/Downloads/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.2.0.11-1_i386.deb (--install):
    conflicting packages - not installing skype

    Anyone know what to do? Keep it simple please

    Try uninstalling the skype package first. Use
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove --purge skype
    and then try installing from the .deb again.
