Try opening skype file. I don't remember where I got my package, probably
created it from skype static based on this
http://forum.skype.com/lofiversion/index.php/t98728.html
but the file itself is a shell script that looks for /usr/bin/skype.real
that may be the problem

Hi^^^^^^
I used to have skype installed but I think a recent dist-upgrade
got rid of it (now my wife _really_ wants it back).
/etc/apt/sources.list has
deb http://people.debian.org/~rafael/skype-amd64 ./
# aptitude install skype
produces
The following packages are BROKEN:
libc6-i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ia32-libs{a} ia32-libs-gtk{a} lib32asound2{a} lib32gcc1{a}
lib32ncurses5{a} lib32stdc++6{a} lib32z1{a} skype 0 packages
upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need
to get 55.8MB of archives. After unpacking 123MB will be used. The
following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-i386: Breaks:
ia32-libs (<= 2.7) but 2.7 is to be installed. Breaks:
ia32-libs-gtk (<= 2.7) but 2.7 is to be installed. Breaks:
lib32asound2 (<= 1.0.20-2) but 1.0.20-2 is to be installed.
Breaks: lib32ncurses5 (<= 5.7+20090523-1) but 5.7+20090523-1 is to
be installed. Breaks: lib32z1 (<= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13) but
1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 is to be installed.
Because it wants to install those libs libc6-i386 will be broken.
Sorry for the delay in responding (a sick child but better now).
OK, but libc6-i386 is not installed. And I (or rather my wife) needs
skype installed. I'm not sure what to do now.
You could try to unpack the statically linked i386 version of skype in
you home directory and start it out of a shell. This could be a
workaround until you can install the package but I really don't know if
libc6-i386 is needed for the statically linked version too.

Yes, I tried that but no go. Error message is a rather cryptic
jonathan@lappy:~/dwhelper/skype_static-2.0.0.72$ ./skype
bash: ./skype: No such file or directory
but that file, skype itself, does exist:
jonathan@lappy:~/dwhelper/skype_static-2.0.0.72$ ll skype
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jonathan jonathan 20356964 2008-05-28 20:21 skype
Anyhow, hopefully the maintainers will make the ia32-libs etc
installable with libc6-i386 so I can get skype working.
Thanks
