The sDaemonWrapper as used in 0.93.0.3-r2 still has this problem. In there, in line 24 it has: echo "Starting ${progname} without a sound wrapper" >> ${logfile} However, "$logfile" which is "${HOME}/.Skype/skype.log" isn't checked to exist before using it. Attached is a diff to sDaemonWrapper, which fixes this problem.
