Bug Description

1. Install Ubuntu 64-bit.
2. Download and install 64-bit Skype from <http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/>.
3. Try to run Skype.

What happens: "skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
What should happen: Skype runs.

I'm told that this is probably a library that ia32-libs should provide but doesn't.
