How to fix skype-wrapper issue for skype 2.2 beta

I run Ubuntu 10.04, just upgraded skype and it would not start, got this message: ======================== Could not launch 'Skype' Failed to execute child process "skype-wrapper" (No such file or directory) ======================== I tried to uninstall/reinstall. Same message. Found the solution was to modify all the links (menu, startup, etc) to call 'skype' instead of 'skype-wrapper'. References: http://blogs.skype.com/linux/2011/04/2_2_beta.html
