I've installed from my local repository that maybe is not up-to-date.

I tried to follow up on the missing dependencies until the last one, "libglib2.0-0:i386", which wanted me to remove almost 1 GB of other files to be installed so I left it there and started from scratch and cant seem to find a work around to get skype running (PS. if any one else is facing the same <a href="http://plus.im">plus.im</a> has a web based client... but seriously it isn't a real alternative at all). Was this issue solved in another thread or was this the end of it? -- TopBot. </div></div>
