I would NOT remove skype from the dpkg database /var/lib/dpkg/status I would use equivs (or manual editing of /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/info/$PAKAGENAME.list , but you must _exactly_ know what you are doing) to say that dependencies are installed. In desperate case where dependencies are wrongly declared (like installing opera on sarge) a manual editing of /var/lib/dpkg/status to correctly declare the dependencies makes sense. -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
