to install skype on a debian unstable machine :
- get the skype package here http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu
- dpkg -i —force-architecture skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb
now we need to fix a bunch of dependencies: apt-get -f install apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-gui ia32-libs-gtk get the 32 bit version of libuuid from here : http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/libuuid1/download copy the library in /usr/lib32
run skype.
blahhhhhh . It used to be easier… Sometimes I really despise myself for using this closed source software.
