Installing Skype 5
Authored by: hamarkus on Jan 28, '11 08:10:01AM

For me, drag'n'drop worked fine (confirm to overwrite). Very occasionally it does not work, basically always this is due to some file still being in use (in other words, part of the app is still running).
I also occasionally get cryptic errors when emptying the trash with an app package inside (secure delete always works in these cases).

I consider none of these really application faults, they are to widespread and too random to be linked to individual applications. Of course, some applications have background threads running even when quit. That is by design and should surprise no one.
