If that's the case, it sounds terribly wrong to me. No package should be
allowed to remove files owned by other packages.

Lastique, which package carries that command line installer you mention?
We should file a Nvidia bug about it. It's a severe bug IMO.

Also, please note that the archive has been updated with version
4.1.0.20.0-0ubuntu0.13.04.2 of the skype and skype-bin packages. It
replaces the need to apply 'the LD_PRELOAD workaround' manually, so
after updating, the tips in comment #31 and #43 etc. are no longer
applicable.

The main discussion about the Skype problem in 13.04 is on bug 1155327.
