Re: Skype access cancelled for Debian versions before 7
Unfortunately, software has bugs. Some of these bugs are probably very
bad. I don't work for Microsoft, and I don't use Skype. In fact, I
haven't used a Microsoft product in many years --- and I would refuse
to use one now mostly on principle.... However, I wouldn't be too
surprised that there's a really good reason for Skype servers to
require a new version to make a call...
I use Debian for nearly everything... I'm sure there's a way to get you
back up and running. If you are not sure how and need help, you can
certainly ask either here or me directly if you'd like...

In case it is not clear, it is not that a new version of the software,
is not available for Debian 6 - it is that the software that was
available for Debian 6, that, as I previously said, worked quite
happily, was killed suddenly, without just cause.
It is a bit like a street sniper, killing of members of the public -
"Why did you kill that person? That person did you no harm." "Because
I can, and, because I like doing it."
