    Hey, I have noticed some unwanted heat that is occuring when I have skype launched, mostly in video chat, but also during only chat. The reason might be high CPU ussage. Any solution for this ? thanks !

    Doesn’t work. This is what I get:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    skype : Depends: skype-bin but it is not installable
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
