same problem here incompatibility with hildonfm2 and hildonmime0

Has anyone found a fix for the libhildonfm2 and libhildonmime problem? I have changed the maemo repos from repository.maemo.org to repostory.maemo.org as I read in a few places and that didn't help. It allowed me to install python finally, but Skype continues to be a pain.

For the record, it's trying to install 1.7.62.51.1 in the application manager.

EDIT: To add insult to injury, when I use "Red Pill Mode" and check to see what's already installed, libhildonfm2 1:1.9.46 and libhildonmime0 1.10.0-1 are installed. Skype wants versions 1:1.9.49 and 1.10.1. What's going on here?! I saw 1 other post from a person with this problem and they fixed it without really saying how. All I want to do is play with Skype with the friend of mine that got an N800; he got his to install, what am I doing wrong?!

EDIT2: I think I may have solved my problem; I'm pretty sure I'm still running OS2008 Beta. Going to try an upgrade and check back in.

EDIT3: Yup, that did it. Seems the software from the OS2008-beta is a little outdated compared to the official release. Skype, running. Oddly enough, it didn't install from the repo though (claimed it was corrupted), I had to download it from Skype's page. In any event, hope my oversights help others!
