I have the same issue on N800 and the above advice will definitely not 
work. The issue is that skype is looking for a libhildonfm2 version 
1.9.49 and the available one is 1.9.46. I think I ran across a Debian 
bug report somewhere on the arm architecture noting this issue. What I 
don't understand is why I should need to re-flash to fix this (bumped 
into the same advice on internettablettalk.com).
