'ia32-libs is not installed' while installing Skype on Ubuntu
- by Vit Kos
I downloaded skype from official site, but when installing I get this type of error
(Reading database ... 100%
(Reading database ... 150271 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking skype (from .../skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skype:
skype depends on ia32-libs; however:
Package ia32-libs is not installed.
dpkg: error processing skype (--install):

Read about that I need to install ia32-libs. Tried to install them like this
sudo apt-get install package-name:i386
But it doesn't find it. Any hint? Thx.
