Skypeforlinux - File has unexpected size (2248 != 2466)

[jerry baker]

So the update & upgrade ran to completion with no errors. But when I run Install Updates from the menu, it again throws the same error. So I Completely Remove Skype, using Synaptic aka Install/Remove Programs. Then I run the Purge/Update/Upgrade commands from the Terminal. Again, it runs without errors. And again, when I rerun the Install Updates script from the Menu, it throws the same error. Skype is diseased, or haunted, or whatever.  So be it. Thanks again for your help. I think I may be going back to Mint. I wanted to learn about the workings of Linux, but I think I'd rather just have a system that does NOT back sass me at every turn. And so I bid a fond farewell.
