Are you actually using a standard Debian installation with the standard versions of dpkg, apt and so on? On my system I can't install anything for other architectures (and rightly so!): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dpkg -i /tmp/bld_0.3.2-3_powerpc.deb Password: dpkg: error processing /tmp/bld_0.3.2-3_powerpc.deb (--install): package architecture (powerpc) does not match system (i386) Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/bld_0.3.2-3_powerpc.deb Does "apt-cache show skype" show you anything? If not, aptitude can't know about skype and I'll reassign this to apt. If it does, what does "aptitude show skype" say?
