USE=icu should not be needed globally.  This is how it works here:

Bingo.  When used with alan's list for abi_x86_32 (plus my small

I'm not at that machine right now so I can't check what I have in

perhaps gst-plugins-base wants it off and chromium wants it on.


You might need icu in USE globally.

Have you tried building with 'icu' use-flag for libxml2, the gstreamer
stuff and qtwebkit? Try e.g.

USE="icu" emerge --pretend net-im/skype

A container would work just as well, and uses WAY less RAM (and disk
as well).  You could keep it running on your desktop all day for about
the same resource cost as just running it normally.

A finite subset of this package.use file will let skype install,
followed of course by
emerge skype.

I arrived at this list the long hard way, repeatedly running emerge and
adding stuffs still portage stopped it's whinging. The worst part is Qt
and X11 as skype is a Qt app and no longer bundles a local copy of Qt.

I agree with Ralf, a small VM with Windows or an Ubuntu/Mint/whatever
appliance solely for use with skype is probably a better use of your
time. It's a huge PITA to keep abi_x86_32 under control and not bloat,
whereas a VM only needs disk space (cheap as dirt) and apt-get once a
fortnight or so.

Anyway, here's a package.use that works on a Plasma 5 system:

I am trying to convince the dept and/or systems group to ship me one of
their "loaner laptops" that has skype installed.

But I "promised" to try to install it on my main laptop (gentoo).
On a backup laptop I went to the skype website and picked up the generic
linux binary.  However it complained that I don't have the libraries it
needs, presumably because it wants /usr/lib32 and I have /usr/lib64.

Hi,

I hate those tons of abi_x86_32 packages as well.

This is also not solving your slot conflict, but why not:
  - Use a Windows VM for Skype
  - Use a small Linux VM for Skype (e.g. Debian)
and just redirect your webcam.

In this way, you don't mess up your system with 32 bit libraries. And,
of course, you don't know what skype is internally doing as it is
proprietary software and not famous for no bugs/vulnerabilities.

Cheers
  Ralf

Re: [gentoo-user] Help installing skype

2016-02-24 Thread Anton Shumskyi 
Hi=)
Can't really help with 32bit conflicts, I gave up on it since other
unofficial packages got broken.
But you can try workaround with disabled abi_x86_32, put skype ebuild to
your local overlay and remove all abi_x86_32 related in it. And it still
can fail=)
Or you can give a try to web.skype.com
