Public bug reported:

The new Skype 4.3.0.37 (which is now mandatory, previous version do not
work anymore - you cannot login) crashes for, both on my originally
installed 12.04 as well as after a 14.04 upgrade. The previous version
used to work fine for me, so I think this is probably a new problem, not
covered by various other existing closed Skype bugs (e.g. I've tried the
LD_PRELOAD=.../mesa/libGL.so.1 from bug #1155327 <=
http://askubuntu.com/questions/285642/skype-crashes-with-a-segmentation-
fault, and that's not it).

Attached is a *.crash. I've tried to submit this via ubuntu-bug *.crash
as suggested on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs, but it
didn't do anything

On start up I get this on the Console, but if I understand
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/overlay-scrollbar/+bug/1134202
correctly, this is only "noise", and not actually the root cause of the
issue:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"

$ sudo apt-cache policy skype

I'd be willing to help debug this if it's of any value to others -
please provide steps of what you would need me to do.
