Alright, I found the issue in file "/usr/share/app-install/desktop/skype.desktop". It tries to execute "skype-wrapper" which doesn't exist in the system. It should be just plain "skype", instead. *** [Desktop Entry] X-AppInstall-Package=skype X-AppInstall-Proprietary=true X-AppInstall-Channel=oneiric-partner X-AppInstall-LicenseUri=/usr/share/app-install/channels/oneiric-partner.eula X-AppInstall-Architectures=i386 Name=Skype Comment=Skype Internet Telephony Exec=skype-wrapper Icon=skype.png Terminal=0 Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Categories=Network;Application; *** One may need to fix the same thing also in files "/usr/share/applications/skype.desktop" and "~/.local/share/applications/skype.desktop".
