I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 i386. After trying to install Skype, the update manager crashes. I tried to use the console using the commands sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get update -f and always the same. Error 404 with this message

"W: Falhou obter http://archive.canonical.com/commercial-ppa-uploaders/skype/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.150 80]".

Already tried some of your solutions and already verified PPA. Can't find the problem. Update manager still doesn't work.

Had this same problem happen to me. The Software Center created the following file which needs to be removed.

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/archive.canonical.com_commercial-ppa-uploaders_skype_ubuntu.list

Then, follow the instructions here for configuring the Software Center. Not sure why it gives you the option to install skype before you do that. Kind of a bug.

Well I'll tell you what I know about fixing this problem. The simple fact is I'm not a programmer so any help I can provide will be basic but I'll do my best.

The following I must warn you aside from the first set of commands is unlikely to work without removing Skype.

Have you tried:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo --configure -a

If that doesn't work you could always remove the ppa manually using the commands I'll give momentarily.

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

And verify using your password. Go down to where you see the ppa in question plus one with, 'src' in the ppa name.
