(In reply to Andriy Baranskyy from comment #1) > Had a similar problem > Resolved this by renaming the ~/.Skype directory. Using this point as rationale, I went through and selectively renamed files until the problem went away. Eventually, I had only removed "~/.Skype/${myname}/main.db" and "~/.Skype/${myname}/main.db-journal" and my problem went away. Comparing the two, there's a bunch of tables that have changed definition. https://gist.github.com/kentfredric/93731939db4be4e56002 In fact, it looks like the columns themselves have not changed, but the order has ... so I can't easily discern whether the failure is horribly bad SQL practices, or there's some junk data in one table. I'll throw something together to see if I can normalise my existing sqlite dump as a migration step and see what happens.
This should be helpful to fix the problem with Skype 4.3.0.37: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Ubuntu-12-10-and-Skype-4-1-fails-during-launch/m-p/3465393#M9785 http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-4-3-crash-on-ubuntu-14-04/m-p/3465411#M9786 Because in my there was no need to remove the file, just update the main.db file with this query: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-4-3-crashes-with-old-chat-history/m-p/3369429#M9430
Report it to upstream. Amynka
