Skype after ia32-libs update?
Hello, I have skype installed from deb http://people.debian.org/~rafael/skype-amd64 ./ but after ia32-libs upgrade, skype does not work any more: $ skype skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I think this is because /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXv.so.1 does not exist in the new version of ia32-libs (that is a dummy package, by the way). My first try was to write to skype amd64's maintainer, but as displayed at the bottom of http://people.debian.org/~rafael, he left Debian. So I would like to ask whether some of you got skype working, and how. Also, if there is any IT-knowledgable here, would anyone fancy maintaining skype in amd64 from now on? :-) Thank you very much in advance, David Please Cc to me if replying

Might be a few days or weeks to do all that thought. Looks like a lot of work. Or stick with libc and ia32-libs from testing for a while. Or you could just say no to vendor lockin and crappy network protocols. That's been my solution. :) -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Also, if there is any IT-knowledgable here, would anyone fancy maintaining skype in amd64 from now on? :-) Thank you very much in advance, David Please Cc to me if replying 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.
