[Bug 1068422] Re: Software-properties mirror selection may pick an out-of-date mirror
I can confirm this bug. apt-get install skype needs skype-bin but it is a virtual package. apt-get install skype skype-bin (translated from my german output) skype-bin:i386 : depends: libqt4-dbus:i386 (= 4:4.5.3) ... depends: libqt4-network:i386 (= 4:4.8.0) ... depends: libqt4-xml:i386 (= 4:4.5.3) ... depends: libqtcore4:i386 (= 4:4.7.0~beta1) ... depends: libqtgui4:i386 (= 4:4.8.0) ... depends: libqtwebkit4:i386 (= 2.2~2011week36) All those cannot be installed.

I've reinstalled from scratch again. Just formatted partition that was dedicated for '/' mounting and also renamed my old home directory before reinstallation. And now everything works and installs fine. So I believe my troubles was caused by some old configs or something like that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068422 Title: Software-properties mirror selection may pick an out-of-date mirror To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1068422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1068422] Re: Software-properties mirror selection may pick an out-of-date mirror
Got the same issue on 12.04 x64: can not install skype(attached skype installation log). Skype was removed when I have upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 so I tied to reinstall it with: sudo apt-add-repository deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install skype and got this: glaz@glaz:~$ sudo apt-get install skype Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: skype : Depends: skype-bin E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I have also tried to download Skype package from official Skype website and install packege via dpkg -i, but installation have failed because my system does not contain ia32-libs package... and I can not install it too.. I have googled for such problems and decided to reinstall Ubuntu from my LiveUSB 12.04 x64 but it doesn't make sense, I still have the same errors. Looks like I can not install any i386 packages at all =( (I already meant about ia32-libs). As you may see in attached file, I've already manually switched to main ubuntu mirror, but it doesn't make sense too. Also, I have tried to manually add foreign-architecture i386 to /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch but nothing changed. Any ideas on possible solutions? ** Attachment added: Skype installation log https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1068422/+attachment/3417656/+files/skype_installation.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068422 Title: Software-properties mirror selection may pick an out-of-date mirror To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1068422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In fact all the mirrors in India seem to have this issue, I have since changed all my Ubuntu machines to main, now to do it at an institution mass level remains a challenge for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068422 Title: Software-properties mirror selection may pick an out-of-date mirror To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1068422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Changing mirrors didn't do anything for me, but the forum thread Arup linked to had the fix for me. After doing: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update I was finally able to install skype with: sudo apt-get install skype So it looks like even though I got the same error message my problem was different. This was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 x64 using Wubi and I didn't do anything other than adding the Canonical Partners repository before trying to install Skype. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068422 Title: Software-properties mirror selection may pick an out-of-date mirror To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1068422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
