Not sure what you are asking, but searched on line and found an example of the file without the strange syntax. I should mention that before trying to install pulseaudio and pauvcontrol (and perhaps after installing skype:i386 on my AMD64?) I was getting warnings rather than errors. When the warning became an error, I could no longer ignore it. I installed the skype:i386 by downloading the i386.deb, and then doing: # dpkg --add-architecture i386 I needed libpulse0:i386. I updated and then installed the .deb I had downloaded. I wonder if this somehow garbled the systemd file. Haines
