Sometime in the past week skype stopped functioning for me. Audio and video seem fine, but the communication does not work -- cannot get an answer at test call, and other users don't show up online, nor can they see me online.
Is it the same for everyone? I assume something in recent Debian development has broken the compatibility with skype ver. 4.2.0.11. Google is not showing me anything about it.

I use Skype every day (video). It works fine and never stopped doing so lately.

OK. Let the troubleshooting begin .... ;)

Fixed.
I have no idea why, but I purged everything under ~/.Skype, and that cured the problem. I suspect some kind of malware came in via the skype channel, but it's gone now.
