Sorry, I sent this report by mistake. This was a duplicate of #588581, #551890, and #583269, which I'm pretty sure are duplicates of each other too, and maybe #588582 and #544324 as well. So I wasn't going to send this report but I it got sent inadvertently.
The problem was that Skype dies with the message: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 611: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! The exact time when it dies varies a bit depending on the Skype package I install, but the application invariably dies with that message before accomplishing any calls. Steps to reproduce: Install Skype with any of the packages, say skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_amd64.deb. Start it up, sign in, and try to make a call. It should crash upon one of the last three steps. Fix: [in /usr/lib32] ln -sf libpulse-simple.so.0.0.2 libpulse-simple.so ln -sf libpulse.so.0.8.0 libpulse.so Result: Skype works perfectly as far as I can tell. -- Jun Inoue -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
