Skype for Linux – unsigned – breaking template updates

Package skypeforlinux_8.62.0.83-1.x86_64.rpm is not signed

My daily patching of my Qubes fedora-32 template failed, and I just found our that Skype might be the reason. I tried starting skype, and found it to be requiring of an update:

Update, pretty please…

This proved faulty, since Microsoft might have given up on Skype, their last update was unsigned and broke updates on one of my fedora-32 templates.

Has the trainee Linux enthusiast been responsible for the full delivery?

Then I tried forcing the install, since I trusted the package origin, but I saw that the quality of the package might be below par(it does work, though), so I chose to part with Skype for now:

Updating / installing…

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start atd.service
Failed to start atd.service: Unit atd.service not found.

Goodbye Skype. Maybe we will meet again some day out of nostalgia alone.

Remember to remove the repo also, if you really mean it 🙂
