I have installed the 32 bit version of Skype on a pure 64 bit install of Debian (lenny when it was testing) and it worked fine. Don't ask me how it worked, but it did. I found the idea on the old Linux forum at Skype as someone else had done it before and posted their results. There were a few amd64 bit users on that forum who installed 32 bit Skype and it worked for all of us, at least all of us who posted back to the forum on the subject after trying it.Wolodja Wentland wrote:On Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 07:53 +0400, James Brown wrote:Do you know will anybody intend to maintain the skype packages for Debian?I am not aware of any DD maintaining skype packages, but Skype used to have a debian repository at: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free which might serve your needs.But not for amd64 Cheers Mike
IIRC all I did was download the .deb for Debian from Skype and run dpkg -i pkg.version.deb and it worked.
