It's not a package from a repository. I was talking about the command
line driver installer that can be downloaded from Nvidia's site
(http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html). I install it by running it
manually from the console.

I can't judge whether the installer is doing wrong here, but it seems
logical to me that since Nvidia provides OpenGL implementation in their
driver then no other implementation should be used (that being Mesa in
this case). I'm not sure how correct it is to use Mesa OpenGL with
Nvidia driver, but I had problems when some of X.Org and Mesa libs got
restored due to updates while Nvidia drivers were installed. Thus I
prefer to be on the safe side and remove Mesa GL libs from being
accessible to the linker by default.

> 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.

Great, I'll see if it fixes my problem tomorrow.
