Not sure what your issue is exactly (path?) but the skype executable
is installed to /opt/bin.

Hi, I had the same problem. Managed to solve it following way:
1. make sure that skype process not running
2. Backup your ~home/.skype and than delete it.
3. Start skype normally.
This way you loose all history which was stored on your PC, but skype runs
normally. You can restore chats history from backup you made earlier.

I had to install pulseaudio for the latest version of Skype to work, but I
can't recall if had problems starting it before I installed pulseaudio.
