Public bug reported: Hello,
when I did not have Canonical's partner repository installed and tried to install Skype with the software center it installed the following repository: http://archive.canonical.com/commercial-ppa-uploaders/skype/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages Then the Software center failed to install skype with this error message: W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/commercial-ppa-uploaders/skype/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.191 80] Note that the software center tried to install version 2.2 of Skype (see screenshot). After I added the partner repository and ran "sudo apt-get update" I was able to install skype 4.0.0.8-0oneiric1 via "sudo apt-get install skype" apt-cache policy Package files: 100
