On my desktop, I'm running Debian Wheezy and Skype 4.3.0.37-1. I installed pulseaudio and pavucontrol, and after some fiddling got Skype working. The absence of systemd on this machine causes no problems, although I see that libsystemd-daemon0 and libsystemd-login0 are installed. However, Skype's audio breaks up and video is terrible, which is why I'm trying to set Skype up on my Sid laptop. So the question is, what does it mean if $ aptitude show pulseaudio/pavucontrol does not show systemd as a dependent, but when I start to install either, systemd will be installed. There should be a way to install them while preventing systemd from being dragged in at the same time. Haines
