Confirming this one.... In 11.10, I removed the Cannonical Partners and Independent repositories. Launch Software Center, and search for Skype. I can click install, am asked to authenticate. From this point, there is a small progress bar, which goes from 0 to about 5%, then the Install button comes back. I can keep clicking install, but nothing gets installed, and I'm not prompted to go update my software sources.
