It depends how you installed the previous version. In my case, I downloaded the Fedora 16 rpm (it was for i586 or something...) from the Skype website, did a yum localinstall ./skype-<whatever>.rpm, and yum took care of everything. After that, version 4.3 Just Works(tm). The point here is that I have previously used the same method to install v4.2, so it got upgraded automatically. If you installed the old version by some other method, like unpacking the tarball into /opt, you have to remove it manually. // As a side note, this kind of situation is a textbook example why rpm is preferred over tarballs... // The second thing you should check is that you have actually exited the old version. Closing down the Skype window isn't enough, you need to find it in the system tray (or whatever is the equivalent for your DE), right-click and choose "quit" from the menu. Or do a "killall skype" in the terminal. Then start it again and verify which version is running. You can also do a "which skype" to figure out what binary is being used when you start it. It will probably say /usr/bin/skype, so then you can do a "ls -l /usr/bin/skype" and "file /usr/bin/skype" to see if it is an actual binary, a symbolic link to something else, or a bash script which invokes the binary internally. Either way, you will be pointed to the location of the actual binary. Delete it, and reinstall the 4.3 version (preferably using yum).
