I suppose, you might mean the change fron ia32-libs to multiarch. Yes, this was a great change and a great improvement. However, my package doies not need ia32-libs, but might be, it needs some extra libs. Try out by installing it. I would suggest, to do it this way: Install the package by dpkg -i skype************.deb If some libs are missing, install them from your actual repo. I guess, the version is not of much importance, more they exist. If libs are missing in the repoo, try to install them from testing. To do so, add the testing repo in sources.list, then do apt-get update and install them by apt-get libwhatineed/testing Be carefull, not to kill your system, look carefully what you are doing!
