If you have not kept an old version - either download one from one of the "old-software" archives, or let me know and I'll email you one (I have 2.2.x and 2.3.x versions). > > It worked, so Microsoft broke it. It's their software. Complaining that a for-profit company ceases to keep paying for your use of old software - after a number of years, on a platform that's no longer supported, seems, um, somewhat unreasonable. Especially if the stated reasons for not using an alternative is the logically recursive excuse that "not enough people use it". Presumably that's not how you meant your comment to read. > " > > and > > " > :~# dpkg -l skype|tail -n1|tr -s ' '|cut -d ' ' -f3 > 2.2.0.35-1 > " > > That version of Skype, was from when it was Skype Skype, before it > became Microsoft Skype. > > It installed without problem, and, was able to be configured and run, > without significant problems.

You also posted error logs that show your problem is that your system *can not run* the software - not because you can run the software but are denied access to the network because the version number is not the 2.4.x :/ --------8<----------->8------------ Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
