well, its not in our repos, so I don't know why you got it. its from microsoft.

but I would do "sudo apt remove skypeforlinux" as my first guess. or use one of the package managers to remove it.

perhaps showing your apt-history output might help. of course, you have already reported the package as "skypeforlinux" so I think you know the package.

The package was libopus0 I think (searched for "skype" on "Muon Package Manager")

But I can't remove it:

Code: Select all

charlesdward@mx:~
$ sudo apt-get remove libopus0

the lib didn't pull in skypeforlinux.

just remove skypeforlinux. or post the output about why you can't, including your quick-system-info.
