Comment 53 for bug 1002187

I just looked at my skype package version and it appears I already have 4.1.0.20.0-0ubuntu0.13.04.2. So because of missing Mesa GL libs this version didn't fix the problem for me, and the fix I described in #48 applies to this version.

I realize the danger but still would like to try out new features in the driver as it comes out. If there was a repo with the latest Nvidia drivers I would use it, of course.

Regarding the driver package, I can see it doesn't conflict with libgl1-mesa-glx, so you probably have both installed, which solves the problem with skype. But again, I'm not sure that having two GL implementations is safe, it did cause problems in my setup and Nvidia is probably removing Mesa for a reason.
