It depends how you installed the previous version. In my case, I

took care of everything. After that, version 4.3 Just Works(tm).
The point here is that I have previously used the same method to
install v4.2, so it got upgraded automatically. If you installed the
old
version by some other method, like unpacking the tarball into /opt,
you
have to remove it manually.

Slightly OT: does anyone know if free group video works with the Linux
version of Skype?
