Hi, I'm following instructions[1] from Debian Wiki to install Skype on Wheezy.
[1]: http://wiki.debian.org/skype#Debian_7.0_.22Wheezy.22 In a nutshell: # dpkg --add-architecture i386 # apt-get update # wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/...snip # dpkg -i skype-install.deb # apt-get -f install Now at the point when I do `apt-get -f install`, only solution APT offers is to remove skype:i386. While I agree with APT that there are much better options than Skype(tm), I need to communicate with people inside the walled garden, so for now I'm going to stick with Skype. me@here:~$ sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: skype:i386 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 55 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 39.2 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? What am I missing? How should I help APT here? Does the wiki page need update? (Note that I actually had Skype installed a while ago but purged it as it was somehow "broken": it was missing from Xfce menus and from PATH. So what I'm doing is actually an attempt to "fix" previous installation.) Thanks, aL. -- Alois Mahdal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
