[Bug 366611] New: Users have problems installing Skype on OpenSuSE on OpenSuSE 64bit
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366611 Summary: Users have problems installing Skype on OpenSuSE on OpenSuSE 64bit Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: vmarsik@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer I gave OpenSuSE 10.3 x86_64 DVD to my relative. It was not the multi-arch DVD, it was just the DVD for x86_64. He installed the system without problems, but was not able to install Skype. He downloaded Skype RPM for OpenSuSE 10.3, and ended with unsatisfiable dependencies on 32-bit libraries, that were not available on the DVD. He even was not able to google a working solution. When I added the on-line OpenSuSE repository to the installation sources, the installation went OK. But anyway, it would be nice to make the life of our users easier. Either Skype should provide a 64-bit RPM on their download page (http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/), or we should add the few missing 32-bit libraries to the DVD. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

These are added by default already, you probably opted out of adding them during installation. The main problem is that skype do not host the packages in a repository. They have been contacted about this. Skype is also not redistributable by others. You can try using the one click install at http://benjiweber.co.uk/skype.ymp Which uses HTTP redirects to avoid redistributing the skype package (although this is not currently re-adding the main repository). Really this is skype's fault though, and they do not seem interested in making it easier to install. You also might want to reconsider using skype as it is: - Non-free - Spyware - Uses your computer's resources to route calls - Uses your bandwidth for other people's calls. There are open standards for telephony, SIP is widely used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
