Updating SKYPE

Ian D · 12-07-2023, 02:34 PM

I have updated my OS from Fedora 37 to 39.

I have SKYPE installed and dnfdragora wants to upgrade SKYPE but comes up with a problem

Quote:

['\n\n\nThe GPG keys listed for the "skype (stable)" repository are already installed but they are not correct for this package.\nCheck that the correct key URLs are configured for this repository.Failing package is: skypeforlinux-8.109.0.209-1.x86_64\n GPG Keys are configured as: https://repo.skype.com/data/SKYPE-GPG-KEY\n']

I do not know what I am supposed to do to fix this. Advice would be appreciated.

Use the command line 'dnf' command instead of dnfdragora.
It should pull in the updated gpg keys.

Skype is not provided by fedora and is a 3rd party app so updating is not a simple as updating regular fedora provided packages.

If you want expert fedora user advice you might join the forum at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ and ask there since almost everyone on that forum is a regular fedora user.

I tried using dnf - but similar failure.

Did you follow the instructions at the link I provided?

Or use the key from the link that is at the bottom of that listing you posted?

I did, eventually, look at the link. There I saw that, perhaps, I should "Import Microsoft’s GPG keys for Skype" - so I did. It didn't make any difference. (The article was about installing SKYPE. I want to upgrade)
I thought that, maybe, a reboot would help. It didn't.
I thought that going to 'Ask Fedora' might help. There I can see lots of answers to questions, but, although I have registered and logged in, I cannot see HOW to ASK questions.
I have registered as 2 different users - 1 using Firefox and 1 using Chrome (in case there was an issue with one of the browsers) but I still can't see how to ask.

If logged in you should see a screen something like below. The [ New Topic ] button on the far right top allows beginning a new thread.
The category selection on the left would be "ask Fedora".
A good place to start would be the "start here" link
