Getting around dependecies...
I'm trying to install Skype in one of my computers, but keep running into dependency problems. I'm using Ubuntu 5.10, and I get the following error if I try to dpkg -i the .deb file.
As you can see from the error, the qt3 library is already installed. Now, I did notice the version installed is missing a ".2" at the very end. The thing is that I know Skype works with the version currently installed because I successfully ran their binary package (this method just unpacks the files to wherever, and you run the program from there). The reason I'm still not running the package is because I'd like to have cleaner install, and I think using dpkg would accomplish that.Code:root@Adinha:/home/adna # dpkg -i skype-1.2.0.17-1_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package skype. (Reading database ... 58866 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking skype (from skype-1.2.0.17-1_i386.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skype: skype depends on libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.3.2); however: Version of libqt3c102-mt on system is 3:3.3.3-7ubuntu3. dpkg: error processing skype (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: skype

Try run
You can force the dpkg behavior... check for dependecy problems, turning them info warnings should be enough to install skype...Code:dpkg --force-help
When using Windows, have you ever told "Ehi... do your business?"
