I can't answer that but it does mean that an internal consistency check 
{assertion} failed. Either the check is invalid, or the calculations / 
statements leading to the comparison check are troubled.

If you run it in gdb debugger [ $ gdb skype, r enter] , you'll find what 
additional debuginfo packages would be needed, and a command 
debuginfo-install to do so. Then run it again gdb again: now the trace 
will provide enough info for it to be useful to a programmer.

It's always useful to provide the versions of the packages in question, 
and when they last worked... in your bugzilla entry.
