I got this issue after upgrading to 12.04 from 11.10:
sometimes, it is not clear what trigger the problem, i start skype and I got this:



:~$ skype

Segmentation fault (core dumped)


If I uninstall and re-install it works for a while but after sometimes/reboot (not a fixed time) same problem come again.

Solution:



I found that the problem is related to prelink so to solve it you need to exclude skype from prelink:




  1. Add this line to /etc/prelink.conf



    -b /usr/bin/skype


  2. purge skype



    sudo apt-get purge skype


  3. Reinstall skype


  4. sudo ldconfig
