Thanks, I did get it working.  Is this oddity unique to skype, or is this 
a more general problem?  I don't recall ever running into anything like 
this before.

I can't say specifically, but I do recall installing 4.3, skype version 
saying 4.3, and seeing 4.2 -- as I recall.  That alone was odd.  I know 
now about apt policy, which is interesting.
