I am posting under Upgrade Warnings because it worked 24 hours ago. After today's full-upgrade, it appears that skype is not able to authenticate a login.  It spins for awhile, then loops back to the login screen and asks for the login name and password again.  I reinstalled the package and rebooted the system, but it won't log in.

Heh -- this morning it works "einwandfrei" -- error-free.  It must have been some problem on the MS servers, or somewhere between me and MS.
