Description Béat E 2014-08-09 09:55:23 CEST

Description of problem:
I want to install the newest version (4.3.) of Skype. When I try to install the package get-skype it says that get-skype-4.3.0.37-2.mga4.nonfree.noarch can't be chosen due to a dependency with libQtGui.so.4 or other packages. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
get-skype version 4.3.0.37

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search for "skype" in the software manager on mageia 4 64 bit.
2. Choose "get-skype" version 4.3 (older versions aren't supported anymore).
3. I get an error message saying that the package can't be chosen due to dependencies.


Reproducible:

You must have Core 32 bit Release and Core 32 bit Updates medias enabled.
This is the default for 64 bit Mageia systems - maybe you changed it?

I activated the mentioned 32 bis medias. Afterwards I could install "get-skype" (together with needed 88 packages that were needed) without problem. Now Skype works fine. :) I close this ticket now. Thanks a lot for your support!

By the way I deactivated the 32 bit medias myself because it was too confusing to have 32 bit and 64 bit packages shown when I was looking for new packages. But from now on I leave the 32 bit medias activated.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
