Important info for Skype users on Fedora
Latest skype update today will show an error that requires libatomic1 which is provided by the libatomic package.
sudo dnf install libatomic
but microsoft by mistake did libatomic1 (which is a suse package) rather than libatomic, which gives us a false error that nothing provides libatomic1. It will be fixed in the next skype update.
People can share solutions on this thread, I am currently using fakeprovide to provide me libatomic1 . You can also ignore dependencies by –
sudo rpm --install --nodeps skypeforlinux-64.rpm && sudo dnf install libatomic
as all dependencies are pre installed except libatomic so its fine :).
Update : 15th April , Skype update has fixes this issue. After updating skype people using fakeprovide can simply remove libatomic1 sudo dnf remove libatomic1
