        Hy,

This day my Ubuntu 12.04 system upgraded with Skype from 4.0.8 version to 4.1.0.20 version, but the proposed repository awailable my system. When the upgrade is happened, the old installed skype package are removed my system, and a new skype-bin package are installed. Ubuntu partner repository now following version awailable, but only possible the proposed repository: 4.1.0.20-0ubuntu0.11.10.1

Hopefuly only my system I have following experience:
1. Login screen is total inaccessible my machine. I hear only Orca screen reader with a "filler ctrl+Q" message. When I moving between dialogue widgets with TAB and SHIFT+TAB key combinations, actual vidgets are Orca not spokening. I only possible to log in the new version if I using following command into terminal:
echo "skype_username skype_password" |skype --pipelogin
The prewious version the login dialog are wonderful accessible, but now, only screen reader use graphical way impossible to log in. Hopefuly other people not have same experiences, but if want keeping the 4.0.8 version, please hold the skype package before upgrade and careful!
