Hi, I think you have same issue as https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17991

I can reconfirm this bug this morning ( for me ). I am using a 64-bit repo ( mirrors.kernel.org ) We've had 24-hours for the repo to settle. This rpm is a noarch rpm. This bug is still valid.
Created attachment 7654 [details] urpmi --test get-skype No problem here on a Mageia Cauldron 64bit with 32bit mirrors activated, see attached file.

Do note that the M6 test platform I am using has successfully installed over 50 M6 apps including proftp apache webmin openshot putty isodumper and many more.
(In reply to William Kenney from comment #5) > Do note that the M6 test platform I am using has successfully installed > over 50 M6 apps including proftp apache webmin openshot putty isodumper > and many more. ...but they are not 32bit - you MUST have all up-to-date 32bit nonfree and nonfree updates repos for get-skype.

the rpm in the mirrors.kernel.org repo is: get-skype-4.3.0.37-5.mga5.nonfree.noarch.rpm 29.7KiB 10/17/14 16:17 is that correct?
Yes, get-skype-4.3.0.37-5.mga5.nonfree.noarch is the current version and what I am using - and no it's not wrong and it *does* require 32bit repos. It is an exception. You may want to read https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154#c126 ... and then this: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4993 It's quite entertaining :)
Ya, this thing has some history to it. I'll put some more time into it tomorrow. I don't use Skype on my M5 machine so for me this is kinda like noise. I think most people now use Skype on their Smartphone.
Retest again here, confirm using 32-bit mirror, and no success same errors.
What says: urpmq --list-media active
When you try again use: cd su urpmi --debug get-skype | tee get_skype_debug.txt exit ... and attach ~/get_skype_debug.txt here.

You are missing the following media: Nonfree 32bit Release Nonfree 32bit Updates (See comment #6) Optional: Tainted 32bit Release Tainted 32bit Updates which I guess it's reasonable to enable since you have the 64bit tainted enabled.

Yes, I've only been activating the 32-bit core repo, not the nonfree or tainted. Never had a problem till this. Thanks. Next time I fire up the test box I'll include those and see what happens.
Closing as worksforme, feel free to set to REOPENED if needed
