The package from the official website needs the libatomic or libatomic1 library

The last time get-skype was shipped with Mageia was Mageia5!

Comment #c18 from Bug 21053

"get-skype is obsoleted and there are no plans to bring it back, so closing this bug."
Comment 4 Nikolay Sabelnikov 2022-01-26 17:22:41 CET
rpm -ivh --nodeps ~/Downloads/skypeforlinux-64.rpm
This command is the best option. The only thing is that Skype does not work with kwallet.
But in the Russian version and in root users, this command is needed: root@localhost ~# rpm -ivh --nodeps /home/nikolanp/Загрузки/skypeforlinux-64.rpm
Comment 5 Nikolay Sabelnikov 2022-01-26 17:33:25 CET
I installed gnome-keyring and seahorse, but every time I restart Skype, it crashes from my account. I'll try this gnome-keyring configuration option now.

Comment 6 Nikolay Sabelnikov 2022-01-26 17:53:03 CET
It worked by adding ~/.xinitrc to the file
   eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
   export SSH_AUTH_SOCK

Thank you Nikolay for the information, especially on gnome-keyring.

Ah yes the wiki could tell to use localised name of ~/Documnents (Загрузки for russian)

Even better if script could be improved for the install command and folder name, which is above me.

I'll ping the major wiki page editor.

I am glad to try for the good of Linux and the community.
You need to teach urpm to understand *.repo, as DNF, zypper understands and other package managers.
