Hi Martin,

sorry, if I was too harsh in my last mail. Maybe I found not the best English 
words. Again, sorry for that.

However, I found a solution indeed.

1. As googleearth package and skype do need ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk 
packages, I reinstalled them.

2. The other needed 64-bit-libs and 32-bit-libs, skype and googleearth depend 
on, I could install with apt-get -f install.

3. The problem with the 32-bit nvidia accelerator (libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386) 
could I solve, that I removed all nvidia-packages from debian and used the 
installer from Nvidia's site.

See:

LANG=C aptitude install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  glx-alternative-mesa{a} glx-alternative-nvidia{a} glx-diversions{a} libgl1-
nvidia-alternatives{a} libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 
  libglx-nvidia-alternatives{a} libxvmc1:i386{ab} nvidia-alternative{a} 
nvidia-installer-cleanup{a} nvidia-support{a} 
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
  nvidia-kernel-3.2.0-4-486:i386 nvidia-kernel-3.2.0-4-686-pae:i386 nvidia-
kernel-3.2.0-4-amd64:i386 nvidia-kernel-dkms 
  nvidia-kernel-dkms:i386 
0 packages upgraded, 10 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 6415 kB/6732 kB of archives. After unpacking 32.2 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libxvmc1 : Conflicts: libxvmc1:i386 but 2:1.0.7-1 is to be installed.
 libxvmc1:i386 : Conflicts: libxvmc1 but 2:1.0.7-1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:
1)     kaffeine                    
2)     libxine1-x                  
3)     libxvmc1                    
4)     me-tv                       
5)     mplayer                                         



Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] 


Maybe this output makes it more clear.

Best regards

Hans
