Prior to release, the Ubuntu archive is still receiving updates to the packages included. Since multiarch library installation requires the package to be available at the same version across all architectures for which it's installed, and since updates for each architecture may be built and become available at slightly different times leading up to a release, there will be points in time when it's not possible to install skype:i386 (and other such packages) on a development release. However, I see that qt4 is currently up to date across amd64 and i386, so if you refresh your package sources (e.g., by running apt-get update) and try again, you should find that skype:i386 installs successfully. Post-release, stable updates are published simultaneously to users across all affected architectures via the -updates pocket. So once 11.10 has released, you should always be able to install skype:i386 and keep it installed. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
