cheers

- r

deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.rug.nl/ppa/mirror/repo.skype.com/deb stable main

and then just use the mouse in the synaptic.

root@apollo-slink:~# apt install apt-transport-https
bash: apt: command not found

'apt-get' does exist, but as it's name implies it only works when "getting" packages from the repositories.

have you tried this ?

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=50241#p50241

This is not a new technology, it’s just not documented anywhere. I started installing packages this way many years ago when I switched to Debian.

Well it doesn't work on my Slink box, therefore it doesn't exist

A practical, crooked option is to add the line

deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.rug.nl/ppa/mirror/repo.skype.com/deb stable main

to /etc/apt/sources.list and disable writing to the folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d (it’s empty for me).

after some more .... crazy ideas ... you could create a dpkg hook to remove new skype list...

Using cat so it can create the files in the right places you should use sudo or be root

Creating a hook to run after running dpkg

cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90skypehook
DPkg::Post-Invoke { "skypehook"; };
EOF

Let`s add a little bash script that will check if skype is installed and if the skype-stable.list exists

cat <<EOF > /usr/bin/skypehook
#!/bin/bash
if dpkg -l | grep -q '^ii  skypeforlinux'; then
if [ -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list ]; then
rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list
else     
exit 0
fi
else
exit 0
fi
EOF

now if you would reinstall skypeforlinux should auto remove skype-stable.list

sudo apt install apt-transport-https

curl -fsSL https://repo.skype.com/data/SKYPE-GPG-KEY | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/skype.gpg

echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://deb.rug.nl/ppa/mirror/repo.skype.com/deb stable main" \
| sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype.list > /dev/null

sudo apt update

sudo apt install skypeforlinux

https://deb.rug.nl/ppa/mirror/repo.skype.com/deb
PS: WHEN YOU INSTALL SKYPE IT MIGHT CHANGE THE /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list  make sure it is the link provided and not repo.skype.com

I don`t see the bother for now we can still install by the provided method untill maybe microsoft will be able to add ipv6 support to the repo

Maybe someone can see what's wrong with the repository address?
It would be possible to install Skype without unnecessary hassle.

Don't panic

$ sudo apt update
Err:14 https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease
  504  Gateway Time-out [IP: 2a02:26f0:3400:2b7::1263 443]

in the meantime

for whomever wants a quick and dirty install

copy paste enter

wget https://repo.skype.com/latest/skypeforlinux-64-insider.deb && sudo apt install ./skypeforlinux-64-insider.deb

When installing skype, it adds a repository to /etc/apt/sources.list.d

deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.skype.com/deb stable main

Only Synaptic cannot reboot it.
The link is above in the post of the respected wdq in the line for wget.
