[Cooker] Skype beta 2.1.0.47 aborts

[Robert Fox]

Since recent Cooker updates, the Skype beta aborts when clicking on
history or sending an SMS.  Before I was able to click on a history
event and a window appears - now Skype aborts without giving error.

Ok, now I'm using skype on a 32bits machine and it crashes exactly as
you describe.

No error displayed, even in the console.

I'm having the same problems on 64 bit. Opening chat will abort with

just the message 'Aborted' in console. This was running Skype from mib
repository. However when installing the fc10 one from skype using
--nodeps I am able to use text chat again.

Just my 2 cents,

Eelco

Indeed, I've just installed the fc10 rpm, and it works fine.

Thanks for the workaround,
Eric
