Unfortunately, dpkg does not automatically handle dependancies, like agt-get and aptitude do, so I get a list of dependencies, all i386 libraries. Is there any way to install such a package and get the dependant libraries installed other than manually installing each one?
The information about skype on the debian wiki seems to indicate that "apt-get -f install" is the solution. It worked for me for skype.
From <https://wiki.debian.org/skype>: ------------------------------------- First, you will have to enable Multi-Arch: # dpkg --add-architecture i386 # apt-get update Then, download the i386 package as above and install: # wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb # dpkg -i skype-install.deb If you then proceed with # apt-get -f install quite a few i386 packages will be installed. -------------------------------------- Regards Johan
