The ia32-libs/ia32-libs-gtk transition goes in two steps. The first installs a dummy package that pulls in ia32-apt-get and then it updates to depend on (nearly) all the 32bit libraries it once contained. So you need to "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" once more to complete the transition. You might also want to use the offial skype packages. From the upcoming versions README.Debian: 4) Example entry for skype -------------------------- Say you want to install a 3rd party debian package that is only available in 32bit, like skype. Then you add the following entry to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb [arch=i386] http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free The [arch=i386] flags this entry as 32bit only. Since you changed sources.list there is some post processing to do so ia32-apt-get knows about the change. After that update and install: /usr/share/ia32-apt-get/convert-all-sources.list apt-get update apt-get install skype MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
