Skype not installable on trusty

Hello,

what I probably didn't express as clearly in my first mail as I should have:

 - on systems where skype is installed already apt
   updates/installations are now broken
 - this is not a skype package problem, but more of a multiarch
   i386/amd64 version mismatch (or something), so this might be occuring
   in other places too

It looks to me like a serious problem, can anyone help debug this?

Have a great day,
 Daniel
