Title:
Double entry for Skype in Software Center not seen in Synaptic
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am noticing that the Software Center has two entries on my system for Skype.
They are both identical although different wording. Mine says:
Skype (followed by stars (502))
skype (Notice the lowercase 's' in Skype.
Then below is another instance that reads:
Skype (followed by stars (502))
Skype Internet Telephony
Both are shown as installed although only one Skype has been
installed.
Skype claims this is a bug in the SoftWare Center but so far I can't figure
out where the entries really are
and what to do about.
If I delete one of these then Skype is gone and I am convinced by clicking on
"More Info"
that they are the same version of SKype.
Now what I have determined is that this only happens when Ubuntu 12.04 was
not freshly installed
but was done via the upgrade method over the Internet. If one does a fresh
install then the
Software Center does not have the duplication.
Does anyone else see this or have an idea how I can clean it up?
I would prefer to get responses from people who have also seen this and have
found a solution
rather than rampant speculation.
I can send a screen shot to anyone requesting directly to their email
account.
