I downloaded the file to /tmp, moved the old skype_static-1.4.0.118-oss.tar.bz2 out of the way, moved the new one to /usr/ports/distfiles,and it installed just fine. - After following the upgrade to linux-base-fc-6 , a portinstall -p net/skype would try to reinstall fc-4. This didn't happen when I did the manual process ( download of bz2 as per above, make clean; make ; make package ). No idea why is this... I even restarted to make sure I had a clean linux environment. The new version with updated linux environment seems to be working quite well - on an initial test I can confirm that on exit it doesn't leave behind any process stuck ... thanks!!
