It's not a package from a repository. I was talking about the command line driver installer that can be downloaded from Nvidia's site (http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html). I install it by running it manually from the console.

I can't judge whether the installer is doing wrong here, but it seems logical to me that since Nvidia provides OpenGL implementation in their driver then no other implementation should be used (that being Mesa in this case). I'm not sure how correct it is to use Mesa OpenGL with Nvidia driver, but I had problems when some of X.Org and Mesa libs got restored due to updates while Nvidia drivers were installed. Thus I prefer to be on the safe side and remove Mesa GL libs from being accessible to the linker by default.

> Also, please note that the archive has been updated with version 4.1.0.20.0-0ubuntu0.13.04.2 of the skype and skype-bin packages.

Great, I'll see if it fixes my problem tomorrow.
